Bonjour!
Today’s Table Traveller recipe was inspired by the movie Ratatouille and from when I ate Ratatouille on our holiday in Paris. I wanted to eat it since I’d seen the movie, and be able to say I’d had it! We had lunch on our first day in Paris in a little cafe beside Notre Dame. We didn’t take a photo of it but I really loved it so Mum and I made it today.
Once upon a time a little 9 year old girl folded her heart full of hope into a tiny piece of paper with her name written on it, to go into a draw for the most desired prize she’d ever heard of. With every fold, her heart was pleading ‘please, please’ to be one of two from the class able to travel with the relief teacher to visit their much adored year 3 teacher at the hospital with her brand new baby.

Sometimes people put 2 and 2 together and come up with 4 – but what they don’t realise is the digits they added were not the correct ones in play. If you need to add 2 bananas to 2 bananas because you see 2 bananas and 2 bananas on your kitchen bench – that is great. But if you are analysing someone elses life and assume what you see is a 2 and what you’ve read or heard causes that problem is a 2 you likely don’t know that your equation is a full size blackboard covered in chalk short of accurate information.
No this is not about someone passing judgement on me and mine – but I can say it because I’ve experienced the pain of that. And I’ve done it. And am very ashamed.
We all just need to stop it.
This has been a VSP 🙂
