Last week’s cooking lesson went
very well. I was really happy with Jared’s enthusiasm! This week, he’s making
the same recipe, only he’ll be doing more of the work, and I’ll be guiding him
along the way. The only oops in the whole process was that I never wrote down
the recipe. Jared did well with my verbal instructions, but by his next lesson,
on Thursday, I’ll have a printed copy of the recipe ready for him.
I have to say, the boy does like
to cook. In fact, he’s pretty excited about eventually having his own designated
night in the kitchen to create culinary masterpieces. I think it might have
something to do with the fact that the boy likes to eat!
Well, I only have a few minutes
to toss together the menu and get back into the kitchen. We picked about 280
pounds of tomatoes at a local farm this weekend and even with my hubby’s
wonderful help, we’ve only managed to process about half of them! Did you know
that tomato sauce, ketchup, and BBQ sauce take a very long time to thicken?!
Ok, that might be because I’m seriously paranoid about scorching and keep the
heat a little lower. Oh, well. At least the house is staying warm with all the
canning!
