Diet?

I'm starting this post a bit backwards, starting with last night! Jakki and Peter impulsively decided to go out for dinner. We ended up at a rather high end restaurant called the Schanpper Rock. Yes after the fish, but the spelling difference is the difference the Kiwi's have to distinguish 2 kinds of snapper found around here. Any way I ordered pork back steak with bacon served on a bed of spatze, topped with a shredded vegetable medley, surrounded by coriander pesto!! The presentation was beautiful. We all were busting at the seams, and when offered dessert we rolled our eyes, that is until the waitress mentioned the chocolate mousse! There is a story behind the Schnapper's mousse and Peter. Peter was providing the restaurant with various fresh herbs from his garden, so for his last birthday the restaurant staff gave Peter a huge bowl of mousse! Peter said it took 4 days to eat it all!! Well needless to say we had the mousse. Incredible, I'll say it is my new favorite usurping my #1 dessert choice, cake!!
My school day was as fun as ever, with an added bonus of spending the afternoon with Quent, the current instructional technology teacher. Quent has been using a green screen and Movie Maker with his classroom, and so we walked through the process. This is of special interest to me because I just purchased a green screen for Oakwood. In discussions with Quent we also planned some "pen pal"(digital form) like stuff with his class and one of mine at Oakwood! Hopefully we can video conference at some point next fall!
