To my great surprise, Eliza cooked dinner the other night. She is all of five years old, and insisted that she could cook us all dinner (including Nan who was a little skeptical). Well I am glad to report that we are still all alive, and she did in fact cook a great dinner. She has a bit of an obsession about cooking with eggs so she made a fritatta (only had to add the milk - otherwise it would have been more like a giant omelette!). She then chopped up vegetables from the fridge including carrots, zuchinni and capsicum. I thought the pieces she chopped were probably a bit chunky to cook through, but in the end they were just right - very rustic. She also made a tossed salad and some chicken flavoured couscous. All in all it was a great dinner, and I have decided that I will let both Jasmin and Eliza cook once a fortnight each... should be interesting. I don't let them stir on the stove yet or handle hot dishes, but I do let them chop up stuff with a steak knife (I only have to chop the end bits where there is not a lot to hang onto).
Have been beavering away creating layouts, mainly to include in course notes. Here is a sample from the last couple of weeks:
I've just got back from the park with the girls - its suddenly turned chilly, its a little early to start dinner, so I will sit and relax with a glass of wine and watch the girls bounce on the trampoline.
