"Your" drawer

As you know, mommy spends a lot of time on her (fake) job, writing her food blog. Hey, before you complain, you score lots of yummy treats and healthy dinners from my (made-up) career! But it does mean I spend a good chunk of the day thinking about dinner, prepping for dinner and actually making dinner. If your dad isn't around to play with you, here's what we do...

I open "your" drawer...


...which consists of my baking equipment. All kiddie-proofed stuff, minus that somewhat sharp candy thermometer that I still let you play with for some reason. You love it. You make a mess. You bring friends (see Woody and Buzz above).


Yesterday I taught you how to design the floor with mini tart pans. I realize there will come a day when you tire of measuring spoons but until then, the drawer is all "yours."

  2. NOT a fake job. I would be so sad without your blog and stories. Love this shot of the little J-man! Looks like he is learning lots and will have perfected creme brule (with torch and all) by the time he is 4! :)
