chef ledger

Our little boy was getting pretty hungry, so we asked him what he wanted for dinner.  He said he wanted an omelet.  Those are pretty easy, so I asked him if he wanted to learn how to make one himself.  He was delighted about this idea and jumped off the couch!  We got out the supplies and we went through it step by step.  I explained what he needed to do next and he fumbled through each step doing a pretty good job for a first timer.  He handled himself quite well in the kitchen, making sure he was carful about the hot surface and making sure he wasn't wasting the food.  He was really proud of himself with the final product, but was a bit disappointed that he didn't get to throw it in the air to flip it in the pan 'like they do in cartoons!'  The finished product looked and tasted great- in fact his mama frustratingly said 'what?  That looks better than I could make!  How did he do that?!?'
Perhaps we do have the next great chef right here in our own kitchen!
