Recent food-related observations by Claire.
1. "Many a nut have I cracked." (Announced to no one in particular, while surveying a landscape of chopped walnuts on her cutting board.)
2. "Down we go! We must now brave the dangers of Dad's cooking!" (To her sisters, when summoned to dinner.)
3. "Daddy, the dessert and the amuse-bouche were delicious." (Re: the cooking referenced in 2 above.)
