all she could find.
may i read a bit of a story to you?elizabeth was a beautiful princess. she lived in a castle and had expensive clothes. she was going to marry a prince named ronald.
unfortunately, a dragon smashed her castle, burned all her clothes with his fiery breath, and carried off prince ronald.
elizabeth decided to chase the dragon and get ronald back.
she looked everywhere for something to wear but the only thing she could find that was not burnt was a paper bag. so she pu...
the only thing she could find that wasn't burnt was a paper bag?
i laughed so hard at that line last night that i bought the book. i hadn't even read the whole story. such joy i received from that line. joanna and i laughed and laughed. and another thing i love about this line that really makes no sense, is that to a child, it very well could make perfect sense.
turns out it's a great little story... i highly recommend you find out what happened to elizabeth and her prince ronald.
i took the day off yesterday and spent some wonderful time with my dear friend joanna. helped her packed, move some things and run errands. we ate at a fabulous restaurant called prairie bay (soon to be the backlot bistro) in baxter. this comes to you highly recommended as well. i feasted on duck confit on focaccia bread and american style wood-fired pizza. joanna and i split some freshly churned raspberry ice cream on the most decadent brownie ever (which is huge for me, since i do not care for chocolate) with a raspberrry sauce that would blow your mind. it blew ours because we couldn't think of a thing to say until the whole thing was gone. at that point, we turned to the autumn creme brulee, which is this ingenious little dessert that puts the pumpkin creme brulee in the middle of an acorn squash. though we hadn't planned on this dessert, it came our way from matt annand, joanna and matt's good friend, who just happens to be this so-so chef at a little place called prairie bay. oh, wait. he's this fantastic chef at a little place called prairie bay. find your way to hwy 371 and head north. oh, yeah. and we did it all for 30 bucks. and that's not so bad.
okay, commercial over. it was a great day, only made better by this little book. the paper bag princess by robert munsch. go find it. we all need to laugh more.
