“You can give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he’ll eat for a lifetime.” – Confucius.OK, so I don’t fish, BUT – I do cook. One of the joys of motherhood is teaching my children to cook.
Annie is eleven now, so she’s wanting to learn more and more things such as using the oven. Today’s cooking lesson? Pizza.
First step – Kneading the dough. I told her she had to be aggressive, like when you punch your pillow when you are mad at your sister. Yes, of course I knew you did that.
Next up, tossing the dough ball. This is almost as much fun as telling your brother there is a sticker on his back and then making him chase it.
(There’s video of the tossing on the video blog – here.)
Mmmmm… now the toppings. She decided to make a Margharita pizza with mozzarella, parmesean, and basil. Does my kid have a distinguished palate or what???
Into the oven…
Direct Quote - “It’s really hot in there Mom….”
Um, Yea….
The finished Product --
Yes, you do have to eat it kids – ESPECIALLY because Annie made it…
"No teaching is equal, more spiritually rewarding, or more exalting than that of a mother teaching her children." - Boyd K. Packer
