Apparently Tequila make me cook....
I won't lie. I cleaned the pantry yesterday and found a bottle of tequila with just a tiny bit left in it.... so last night I made a margarita. And then I made taco scoops for dinner. And a potato casserole thing. And potato soup in the crock pot. (Yes.... I also found some almost-past-prime potatoes and onions in the pantry.
And it was all lovely and meals are planned for at least a few days. Musta been the tequila.
At what age do you let kids start cooking? I mean really cooking? Last night Sweet was in charge of the scoops.... I browned the beef and chopped the cheese into big chunks but he used the salad shooter to shred the cheese and he lined up the scoops, filled them with meat & cheese, preheated the oven & put them in the oven. I took them out.
Then we played our favorite new game. Cafeteria. They get trays and line up and get food. Scoops, apples & yogurt last night. It was pretty fun.
All three kids were playing nicely. I rounded the corner to grab a basket of laundry and found the girls, dressed in scarves & Great-grandma's high heels. The big one had a nerf dart gun. The little one had a flyswatter. And they had their brother trapped in the wicker laundry hamper...
Welcome to my house.

My BoyChild is a picky eater. So I recently told him that I was not a short order cook and if he didn't want to eat what we ate, he could fix himself something to eat. I thought it would motivate him to expand his foods a bit. Instead it has motivated him to learn to cook. He can make eggs, grill cheese, fry hamburgers or port chops and of course the ever present Mac & Chees. He just turned 10.
