the secret ingredient



it was kind of a blah day. eleanor and i are both coping with head colds. it was rainy and humid. the bright spot was the much-anticipated music class this morning. this afternoon's highlight was chocolate pudding. going along with the blah-ness, the camera's memory filled up just when we started talking about the pudding's secret ingredient, which is tofu. you can find samantha's recipe here. the missing dialogue went something like this:

C: you don't know what the secret ingredient is...what do you think the secret ingredient is?
E: the secret ingredient...the secret ingredient is love!

though a part of me would like you, dear reader, to think of this response as eleanor's unprompted salute to my maternal devotion, i must tell you that (surprise, surprise) it's from a book--brava strega nona! (a pop-up book) to be specific. strega nona tells the reader that love (amore) is the secret ingredient for a magical life. regardless of its source, her answer made me smile and made my heart melt just a little bit.

p.s. sorry for the double embed. i have no idea how to get rid of the duplicate.

    I am not sure that Eleanor can get any cuter. Is it possible? On some nights I find myself resenting the blog challenge, but when i get to see this awesomeness, I feel that it is worth it.
