It's easier to cook from scratch

[ailbhe]

The children are able to break and beat eggs, melt butter-substitute in a saucepan, and scramble the eggs. They can't open a tin, even with a ring-pull.

(Yesterday we had scrambled eggs for lunch, today it was tuna and sweetcorn. No, I don't let them handle the cooker unsupervised, I'm not totally irresponsible).

I'm a BIG fan of children cooking from a young age! Fantabulous!

It's one of the things I look forward to doing with Jaeger :)

It's best thing - I loved my grandmother doing that with me. Now I'll do that with my boy!

Holly cooks with me & helped me chop & pan fry the mince & veg for tacos last night. We made pancakes the night before & she made the batter with me & helped pour it into the pan.

I find ring-pulls hard now, but I am excessively feeble.
