The smell of it

[ailbhe]

Earlier this evening, Emer came over and insistently bashed at my thigh as I typed. Eventually, I asked what she wanted, and she took my hand and led me to the kitchen. She pointed at the oven gloves and I gave her one; she pointed again and I gave her another, but she indicated that I should put it on myself.

Then she told me to take the bread out of the oven.

She stood well back, I took it out; it had reached "done to perfection."

Hm. Natural born chef? (no, not cook. I know better.)

Gosh. I think one of my aspirations as an eventual parent may have to be to cook delicious foods often enough that my children recognise the smells of them like this before they can talk.

That's brilliant :)

I strongly advise you to start with "Get everyone to adulthood alive." The rest is gravy.

Mmm, gravy...

Definitely a natural baker. With an excellent nose. :-).

Yes, that sounds like a sensible first objective. Fortunately my girlfriend has form in managing this feat, so I'm hoping to crib from her wisdom :)

Mmmmm, gravy...
