Happy Monday... It's our last week of school and I am SO ready for a break!
DD had a bit of an "oopsie" live and learn moment with cooking yesterday. She had made grilled cheese sandwiches for herself and DS the other day; so when she asked to make some again I said sure! We were putting groceries and things away when DS came to find me and said "DD burned plastic on the stove." She let the wrapper of one cheese slice get too close to the burner. She had one edible but burnt sandwich on a plate. She told me she had forgotten to get the cheese out before she started making it. So I had her move to another burner while I tried to figure out how to calm the chaos... She had the pan on HIGH! I was like "uhhh first lets put this on medium heat..." and she said "That would have probably helped me a lot a few minutes ago..." She then make DS a very un-grilled grilled cheese. Poor kid! It wasn't THAT much plastic and I got it up ok. Live and learn!
When and How did you learn to cook?
I was in the kitchen with my Grandma from a young age but that was mostly for baking. I think I was 9 or so the first time I made a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese for myself. I still remember working in our tiny attic apartment kitchen while my mom laid on the couch with a bad headache a few feet away. Basically from then on I learned to cook by helping her and reading recipes. I spent time in my Grandma's kitchen too.
