There are recipes & then there are priceless gifts!

Good Morning from Texas!

My 5 year old g-granddaughter (herself a priceless gift!) has a "fully stocked kitchen" that we all should have in our real world. She is a great Mommy to a slew of babies that range from bald to rather nappy, well loved derelict looking babies. She changes them, she combs their nappy hair, puts them to bed well fed. She spends her days busy as all Mommies do with a bunch of babies to care for.

Her Mother greatly restricts her TV watching (I sometimes feel I need to restrict what I watch with the type of programs on these days! :O ) but Sissy loves the cooking networks. (trust me, she did not get that love of cooking from me!) She happily cooks along with the shows in her kitchen, stirring this pot & chopping that ingredient--quite the chef! She does say occasionally that one or the other of the babies did not seem to like the offering of the day.

She is a quite smart little girl (well, of COURSE she is! :) )she knows all her alphabet, can write all of the letters & can do a fair job of sounding out the letters, well on her way to reading quite well. She needs a 'tad' more work on her spelling....
She insisted on writing me a recipe that she just knew I would cook & love & I needed it cuz I was not much of a TV watcher. BOY! It was a LONG recipe to write, she told me.

(I have translated for those of you that are not used to reading "5 year old" and what a fine recipe it is!)

(Onions Ring)

flawr (flour)
solt (salt)
pepr (pepper)
unyiz (onions)

kut the unyizs. put in the flawr. shak it up. fri it up. eet it up.

(Cut the onions. Put in the flour. Shake it up. Fry it up. Eat it up.)

No doubt Sissy will be the next famous chef? :)

Plain blocks made for Sylvia . Some days the eyes need a break from the razzle dazzle of outstanding blocks & they themselves need a supporting cast to help sooth & calm the waters.

(Well, doesn't that sound spiffy? I sometimes impress myself with what comes across my keyboard. LOL!!!) With that bit of nonsense, I am off to see what mischief I can get into.

Have yourself a wonderful day!

Block: "Shoofly" from the book 'Sylvia's Bridal Sampler' by Jennifer Chiaverini
