She was and still is a first grade teacher so she had the summers off and we would spend the days harvesting food from our garden, visiting apple orchards to pick the fruit and canning everything in site. It was awesome and I'm an excellent cook as an adult. I wonder sometimes why some parents are so quick to ship their kids off to summer camp. My bosses wife for example has their daughter enrolled in a different camp for every week of summer vacation at the age of 7.R.

Involvement to this extent will foster a life-long love of food, its preparation and provenance.

Don't know where it goes though, as she is quite slender. lol <BR/><BR/>She normally helps with cooking and made her own breakfast today (an egg and bacon sarni). Tomorrow, apparently, she is going to make pancakes:o) Cereal or toast is too boring!!!<BR/><BR/>Ten years time? I reckon our girls will be ok:o))Minniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04770118579029775245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-10657199408139399792008-10-20T08:33:00.000-07:002008-10-20T08:33:00.000-07:00Anger?
