With it being winter we have been in the house more during the day than we would like. Parts of that are fine, we are totally redoing our bathroom and it is going to be beautiful. We now have new wiring to most of the house, new switches and plug ins, light fixtures....I'm very happy.
Kenyon and I have spent alot of time in the kitchen trying out new recipes. I have been asking her about things she wants to learn to make, last week was flan, (don't ask about that) and today we are making tamales. I read alot about them and now understand the whole thing about groups of women coming together to be friends and make tamales. They are alot of fun so far and it is a social thing for sure. Something else I am trying to teach her is how to grocery shop. What are we going to eat, how much is that going to cost and what all do we have to get to do it. Then of course, how to use what we have from other meals to make better ones the next day. It all goes together once you learn it. She actually can cook more than she wants to admit at this point, considering the knock you down it is so good chili she just made with little to no help. I can't wait until the tamales are steaming and we see what we have really created.....
I have to go now, I hear Thad in the kitchen opening cans. I think he is making a cake and I would like to supervise......
