Day 186 – Cookies

on

“Go make cookies.” said Garbanzo to Indigo and DJ.
“By ourselves?”
“Yes.”
“Really? Use the stove too?”
“Yes.”
“What if we do something wrong?”
“You’ll learn something. Go.”
“OK”

I was sitting at the island in the kitchen editing pictures, so they weren’t totally alone. After I found them the cookbook, I sat back saying nothing. It was pretty funny watching them. I finally grabbed my camera and took some shots.  This one is a view of their work surface from the bowl. They chose to use my Kitchen-Aid mixer. It was a funny process to observe. But, there are cookies now – and not too bad either. I think they remembered everything.

  1. I’m glad they had fun. I bet the cookies were tasty too.

  2. I can remember the excitement in being let to do mundane household things because, up until that moment, I’d been told I’d break something or “because I said so” or I wasn’t tall enough. I actually begged to be allowed to help with dishes! Now I do whatever I can to get out of doing dishes.

    I think my first attempt at cooking was skinless chicken breasts cooked in the microwave in a sauce of cream of mushroom soup, lol. ick. Sounds like your girls did a better job than me!

  3. Just me... says:

    For me, cooking and computers fall into the same category.. I can read all the ‘manuals’ but until I jump in and just do it, I never really learn it..
    I do bet they had a great time!!! :):)
