Brig's Interesting Technique

On Sunday we made some pelmini for dinner. It is a big project so we made it a family affair. I made the dough and got it ready for the pasta machine. Kaleb cranked the handle to flatten it out and Seth cut out the circles. Dad loaded each circle with filling and Katry was moistening the edges (applying water from a bowl) and sealing the dumplings. Brig was busy making an apple pie. We decided we needed more help so that we could get dinner on the table faster. So we called Brig over and gave him the job of moistening the circles, and folding them over. He happily hopped right, over stuck his finger in his mouth to moisten it and then applied his very own spit to the dumpling. Brigham, Katry and I immediately shrieked. Brig actually thought that was okay. AHHHHH! What an uncivilized heathen! Well, Brig's spit only graced one dumpling, and they all turned out delicious. It was so much fun making them all together. Everyone usually pitches in on Sunday dinner, but it was fun working on a single project together. I love my family, they are delightful and certainly never dull!
