Cooking with Kids

My two girls received cookbooks for Christmas, so yesterday and today they made dinner. It was a lesson in patience for me. But I know I have to keep doing that with them, so they learn to cook for themselves, and don't go to college thinking a meal is a bowl of Minute Rice with butter and salt. *ahem*

It was nearly 8:00 tonight by the time we ate. It took my oldest a long time to get through everything. And part of the reason was that she is left-handed. You wouldn't think that matters in cooking, but it totally does. Especially when she was chopping.

In the end, everything was delicious, and I was so proud of them. I have a stomach ache at the moment, though, because pudding s'mores are not meant for old bellies.
