being brave in the kitchen

Today I got a kids recipe book at the Airman's Attic. So I thought that maybe Leia and I could make something fun tonight. The only thing in it that I had ALL of the ingredients was an pineapple upsidedown cake. I assembled all of the things that we needed and let her do it pretty much all by herself. Including the mixer.Luckily most of it did stay in the mixing bowl. She even opened the cans. Yes I know I have a stone age one. The movers lost my electric one.But this works pretty good and doesn't take up counter space. It made my young friends look at me weird though. They didn't know how to work it. I had to laugh.

Leia sampling the sugar. I guess she had to make sure it was sweet enough



YUP sweet enough and so is the sugar.



She did pretty good at the blinder.See the roses behind her. I had to cut down most of them due to a bad storm with heavy winds. Most of the long stems buckled and the roses were handing on the ground. So I had enough to make 3 vases. One of them with about 15 roses. They smell so so so good.


I forgot to take a picture of it before we dug in. It was pretty good.
