Life does go on & I’m trying to get back into gear on writing. It’s hard. Without my older brother here pushing, I would probably be curled up in the bed hiding a great deal of the time. Family & friends are what get you through times like these. And long talks with God.
Teaching your children to cook does pay off. This morning Sarah offered to cook bacon if I would fix some biscuits so off to the stove she went. Sarah has cooking bacon down pat so I’m not needed to supervise. I mix up & roll out a batch of biscuits while she cooks the bacon. We talk companionably while cooking & it’s an enjoyable experience.
She still has a lot to learn, but it gives me pleasure to watch her with activities like these that she has mastered. I suspect in the coming week or 2, we’ll dig out the cookbooks & find something new to cook together. Cooking with a teen like Sarah is a fun & relaxing activity as she has learned most of the basics of cooking. It allows us to kick back & enjoy the process while I throw out tidbits of information in case I haven’t passed on that piece yet. She either listens carefully or informs me she already knows that. It’s fun cooking with Sarah; I would suggest you try cooking with your teen if you haven’t already.
