All the students are involved in the gardening, harvesting and cooking. They also have 4 chickens for eggs. It's brilliant they make a 3 course meal each week and all sit down together to eat it. It's taught them so much, my 7 year old has amazing knife skills. Our prime minister came to the school for a visit and my 12 year old daughter made her a cup of tea. At home though I seem to be the only one who washes up.<br /><br />I like how that recipe only serves 2 ha ha.

I'm too scared someone didn't wash their hands! <br />In this house if you cook dinner, you don't do the dishes.. <br /><br />IF you are baking a cake or similar, then you have to do the dishes.<br />I don't know how we came about that rule!<br />Chris Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03599144462630400401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193403358365368030.post-14121412633173264692012-10-16T02:45:12.309+08:002012-10-16T02:45:12.309+08:00Thanks for the recipe.

Everyone else has to take care of the dishwasher ;-) But thats just our family...We share the work. <br /><br />My kids also help me a lot around the kitchen. The little one (2 years) loves our dishwasher...and his older brother takes is taking care of the 'messy work' ;-) Katjahttp://www.lamommy.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193403358365368030.post-9429011708351161122012-10-15T21:38:47.373+08:002012-10-15T21:38:47.373+08:00Hurray for your son and daughter!

They are grown now and are all fantastic cooks! One son does all the cooking in his family and is wife does the baking. I loved to cook with my students when I taught school - whether it was 5 year olds, or 2nd graders. We learned measurement and fractions through cooking and always cooked something from the country we were studying in Social Studies. Those are wonderful memories! I also cook with my grandchildren. I think some of my fondest memories as a child were of cooking with my mother. That may be why I am so "into" that.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06755191961134444671noreply@blogger.com
