It would be a comfort to know that when he grows up he can fend for himself and actually make a meal that doesn't consist of puncturing the plastic and cooking for 3 minutes on high!
We started out simple................scrambled eggs. After showing him the process I know he felt proud that he was able to do it. Now I just hope he doesnt think that he can just cook whenever he would like. He still has to be supervised!
Now on to things that are more adult Friendly! TGIF and you know what that means......It's time for a Virtual Girls Night Out! Ann will be our host this evening, so go check her out at Ann again and again. She is reminiscing about the good old days, so I think I can come up with something to reminisce about........

Why is it when you want to remember something that nothing really special comes to mind? Oh well, sorry, maybe I will come up with something while blog hopping tonight! Have a wonderful weekend!
Oh, you are a great mommy! That is something wonderful to teach someone. : ) Hopefully he will grow into a productive male! : )
ReplyDeleteMy oldest who is 9 thinks that it is her kitchen. Although i would love to let it be because I hate cooking, she still scares me to death with the knives. I think letting the kids help cook and teaching them young is good.
ReplyDeleteyes.. you are a good mom, as the boy may meet a girl who doesn't cook someday!
ReplyDeleteHappy VGNO, and that drink does sound good:)
My 8 yr old loves to cook too! Kind of scary but she's learning a lot!
ReplyDeleteYummy sounding drink!
Happy VGNO! Have a great weekend!
I know why you can't remember!!!! Momnesia!
ReplyDeleteI have a bad case of that myself--you can read all about it here (if you remember to do it!).

It turns out an author who wrote a book with the same title liked my post--put a link to my site from hers and also drew a cartoon of #17 on my list of momnesia symptoms. That was definitely the high point of my week. :)
Happy VGNO and I hope you have a great weekend.

That drink is my kind of drink. Please pour me a glass! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteThose eggs probably tasted better than any he's ever had! :)
Happy VGNO!
Happy VGNO, the drink looks yummy. I love ginger ale, never thought of mixing with rum! Carambola remind me of our vacations to St Croix!
ReplyDeleteMy 12 yo GIRL has no interest in the kitchen... she would rather have some one else (me) cook for her!
My ATWT
Please pass me one of those drinks - they sound yummy!!
ReplyDeleteVery cool that you're teaching your son how to cook - I can't wait until Princess Nagger is old enough to let her go to town - scrambled eggs is a GREAT idea! :)
Happy VGNO! :)
How fun! Happy VGNO :)
ReplyDeleteBoth of my boys love to cook.
ReplyDeleteI have been having my 12 year old daughter make breakfast or lunch for everyone lately
I figured couponing, shopping & meal planning are going to be part of her homeschool curriculum.
Hope you had a Happy VGNO!
I am glad you are teaching your boys to cook.
ReplyDeleteGreat job mom!!
