L is for lids and M is for May Day

Whenever you're about to feed your child (or after your finished) - make sure the lid of the jar is shut properly. This little 2 second check could save you a huge mess.
I shook a jar of chicken from the fridge (baby food) and needless to say - the lid wasn't screwed on properly - so the chicken stew went EVERYWHERE. From the window, down the wall, all over the table and into the dog's bowls...they loved it.
Needless to say - I learned my lesson!

May Day (May 1st) is coming up and is a pretty big deal in Finland (and possibly all of Finland?). Everything is closed and if it's sunny outside families and friends get together to have a picnic. Typically the night before people get drunk (since the next day nobody has to work)...so many have hangovers.
As well there are several concerts and activities downtown. In the grocery stores there have been some sort of baked good sold specially for May Day. It looks like a bird's nest and is some sort of batter squirted out of a tube and into a deep fryer then sprinkled with icing sugar. I'll get a package (sold in 2's) and try it out.
