Fun Facts about the Victorian Era amuse me from time to time.
Such as TO CONTROL INSECTS, MANY PEOPLE KEPT A HEDGEHOG IN THE BASEMENT.
It curled up and slept in the day, but roamed around the dark kitchen at night eating cockroaches and other insects!
People thought food digested better in the dark, so a dining room located in the basement was considered the best spot in which to eat. (I hadn't heard this one before...but have known some victorian dining rooms to be dark and dimly lit.)
In Abilene, Kansas is a gorgeous Victorian Mansion. The Lebold Mansion has a nicely equipped kitchen in the basement with Formal Dining on the main floor.
Being creative at three has its advantages. Junior Miss enjoys MIXING THINGS. It's not uncommon for her to join her Momma in the Kitchen to help prepare Supper...then there's Gramps/Pops who has an assistant at his side to MIX STUFF UP.
BUT DURING THE DAY we have time to play at fixing food and such. Here's a gourmet snack straight from the heart of a three year old! Ummmmmm Yummmmmm...potato chips and marshmallows.
Who could resist? Not even a Hedgehog could turn their nose up at 
this!!!
this!!!Here she is writing the recipe down so she doesn't forget how to make this delicious snack for future events.
How ceative are you these days??? I'll admit...I'm lacking. Need some help.
God bless and thanks for stopping by,

Dd,
Cute post! Gramps / Pops has a lot of fun with his
inquisitive cooking assistant. She is so very helpful, especially when it comes to slicing butter. :)
I think I would prefer a Hedge Hog to the insect devouring family of Ring Neck Snakes that I had to rout out of the back yard last weekend. Had not heard that one before. Not sure that would be the most sanitary bug disposal. "8^\
Maybe toddler would help me with some recipes. I could use some creative ideas when it comes to cooking.
Sweet picture of her writing!

Hello Deanna
I love the Victorian Era...but that dinning in the dark leaves me feeling a little less in love with this prime and proper age....very interseting though!
Cute hedgehog:)

Love the hedge hog! When the kids were young, our daughter brought one home for a pet. He was so darn cute, I couldn't resist. It was fun for awhile, but apparently we didn't do a good job of taking care of him. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my hoosier. I love seeing what's going on in your part of Kansas! Have a blessed week!
