Learning to Cook

 Much of the conversation lately has revolved around food and lots of food.  We went to IHOP with Grandpa and Grandma the other day and the kiddos were quite impressed with the varieties of syrup on the table along with the fun pancakes available.  Since it was Sunday a.m. I decided to make a batch of pancakes for us and they went to town decorating and creating the toppings.  Thomas added syrup, home made apricot jam, banana slices, Flicks candy and a maraschino cherry to his.  He was so pleased with his "outrageous" pancakes and ate them in no time.
 Meanwhile, on another day, Andrew had been asking me to learn to cook so we started with scrambled eggs.  Easy enough.  He cracked all the eggs and whipped them together, put a little olive oil in the pan and scrambled them up with a little salt and pepper.

We're off to a good start so he'll make some variations on it next time.  We also talked about temperatures, washing hands, etc. to instill some basic cooking habits.  By the way, the eggs were delicious!
