Here is the zoomed-out version. They really love each other.

This is how Ollie reacts to his big bro. Also, today is the first day he is sitting up on his own!

Focaccia

I tried to make focaccia today for the first time, and it was not a success. It is one of the simplest breads to make, but as I discovered today, it is one of the most persnickety. It fell before it finished rising and didn't rise on the bench. It came out a little undercooked but burnt at the edges. It is almost saved by the olive oil and the rosemary from our garden. I cut it up, and I may use it for a snack or a sandwich tomorrow.

The author of The Bread Bible, Rose Levy Berenbaum, says that it is the recipe about which she has been written most. She calls it "that notorious rosemary focaccia," and now I can see why.

Sunday Morning Television

I guess they like Fireman Sam! This is the first time that Oliver has sat and watched a show on television, other than watching some of the dancers on So You Think You Can Dance as I watched. He had been playing with his toys, but he abandoned them to watch the show.

We do not plan to let him watch much TV, but it is fun to watch him experiencing new things!
