Kapla Blocks

At the Children's Discovery Center -- both Cash and Cale found lots of interesting activities. But something that was new to all of us was the huge set of Kapla blocks.

Very different from Leggos -- the Kapla blocks are completely smooth on all sides. Maybe 6" long and 1" wide...

There were lots of books and pictures showing the many possibilities.

Hey -- I BUILT A CHAIR, PEOPLE...

I'm telling you. There is no end to the fun this summer. These kids are wearing me out...WHEN DOES SCHOOL START?

King Arthur Popover Recipe

Preheat oven to 425 degrees... then preheat the Popover Pan...it needs to be screaming hot. Butter the sides generously -- right before you pour the batter.

4 eggs
1 1/3 c. milk
1 1/3 c. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbl melted butter

Whisk eggs into milk. Make sure everything is room temp. Whisk in the flour & salt, add the melted butter at the end.

Pour thin batter into Popover pan (2/3 full) and bake for 30 minutes. DON'T OPEN THE DOOR.

When the popovers are done -- get them out of the pan ASAP and prick the top with a sharp knife to prevent collapse.

Serve with REAL BUTTER...that's mandatory. Homemade jam is optional...
