I should after 29 years of marriage I guess!<BR/>Actually, I should be much better than I am! <BR/><BR/>I think it is great to get kids involved as AM has...Grace loves to do things in the kitchen but does get bored if it is not *fun*. Like just checking on things to boil and waiting for pans to heat...she does not get that it is just part of what a cook has to do!<BR/><BR/>I think AM should get her package by tomorrow...Bill boxed it and mailed it last Thursday.<BR/><BR/>Have a sweet Tuesday!<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>SueSusie Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14878113034866113803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29445173.post-86377376919601014502007-10-15T19:19:00.000-05:002007-10-15T19:19:00.000-05:00I think it's important to get kids involved in the...I think it's important to get kids involved in the kitchen. I let Anna Marie help in small ways - like emptying cans into the pot, or stirring something. She's only six, but it helps her feel like she's part of the process.<BR/><BR/>Of course, my sister has taken her to downtown Memphis to feed the homeless, and handed her a (butter) knife and some potatoes and let her chop them! I'm not sure I'm ready to go that far!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14302217262817249195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29445173.post-15025440966257583652007-10-15T12:55:00.000-05:002007-10-15T12:55:00.000-05:00Good for you for learning and branching out!I do e...Good for you for learning and branching out!<BR/>I do enjoy cooking (some days more than others...) and am trying to get my daughter interested. I think she should start learning how to do a few more things (she's 11) and what you shared about your experience confirms my thoughts. So thanks! :)Karen Hossinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049412644792482270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29445173.post-72123044042418967612007-10-15T10:44:00.000-05:002007-10-15T10:44:00.000-05:00Steff, Anna Marie goes through phases.Like right n...Steff, Anna Marie goes through phases.<BR/><BR/>Like right now, she's refusing to eat PB&J. It must be a school thing, because before she'd eat it for every meal if I'd let her.<BR/><BR/>And, for no apparent reason, she'll say she doesn't like something she's had plenty of times before. So, I make her try at least two bites of something before she tells me she doesn't like it.<BR/><BR/>I do not, repeat, DO NOT fix her a separate meal. She eats what I serve her, or she does without. Harsh, I know, but I'm not a short-order cook!<BR/><BR/>Besides, my mom did that with Amanda, and we all see how that turned out - she's a vegetarian now, but she doesn't really like vegetables.<BR/><BR/>(And, by the way, Amanda agrees with my stance on this!)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14302217262817249195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29445173.post-14623266294774530122007-10-14T08:11:00.000-05:002007-10-14T08:11:00.000-05:00you GO, girl!and no worries...Alton will never kno...you GO, girl!<BR/>and no worries...Alton will never know!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12530766193268054815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29445173.post-45697760749051834172007-10-13T16:41:00.000-05:002007-10-13T16:41:00.000-05:00Ahh, a friend after my own heart!
