Food network TNG

Because food tastes better when prepared by you or your sibling, we have added Cooking 101 to our curriculum. Sami is very excited to be using dangerous utensils and playing with fire, mostly playing with fire. Their cooking lessons take place at lunch, so dad is happy to enjoy the fruits of their labor at dinner. Both children are becoming very good at cracking eggs and peeling vegetables.

Sami made green eggs and ham, and carrots. She had a lot of fun adding enough food coloring to make an Irishman proud. Chris enjoyed the eggs so much he had seconds. She has also cooked sausage for sausage and pepperoni pizza. Once we all assembled our pizzas, she put them in the oven to bake and helped get them out. No small task, given that their finished pizzas weighed more than a baby elephant. She found a recipe for alphabet soup to make this week. To round off the meal, she made pepperoni bread.

Chris has made spaghetti and meatballs. He was not happy about touching the raw meat. He then made the interesting combination of egg drop soup and tacos. He made scrambled eggs and Parmesan chicken and carrots. Sami offered to teach him how to peel the carrots, but he didn't want his little sister to teach him.

They enjoy pretending to be on cooking shows as they cook and directing when the other is cooking. We plan on pitching the idea to producers of Food Network and becoming bigger than Emeril and Rachel Ray.
