Today he tossed steak cubes in spices for tomorrow's beef tagine, coating each side precisely.
He peeled carrots carefully, safely and (perhaps a little too) thoroughly -- with very little assistance from me.
Little hands measured ingredients for bread dough, turned on the mixer, then placed the bowl in a warm place to rise. Later he helped to grate cheese, roll and shape dough, and sprinkle the resulting savoury spirals with bacon and cheese pieces.
His proud smile of accomplishment is worth any spills and messes I need to clean up. And he's good at sharing the fruits of his labour, too!

I hope Boo keeps his interest in cooking as he gets older as everything looks delicious. Whats a little mess compared to the enjoyment you both get from doing something fun together
Morning,
It's so good of you to teach him these skills and let him "help" you. I need to do a better job of this when it comes to cooking with my boys. Thanks for inspiring me!
Thanks also for your comment on my A Pattern of Thankfulness post. I just wanted to say...well, what did I want to say?...I guess just that I understand how hard it might be for you to do a project like that. I don't really understand from personal experience, you know, but I can only imagine how difficult it would be. I also wanted to say that I'm sorry that you've had to endure what you've gone through, and I think your sunny outlook on life is highly commendable.
With much respect,
Davene
