Cooking with Mommy....
ahhh..I always envisioned the day I would share the kitchen with my girls. We'd put our little pink, ruffled aprons on and our pony tails would be swishing around as we laughed and stirred our yummy goodies. We'd giggle and dance around the kitchen and enjoy the aroma of our sweet creations bubbling up in the oven.....and then....oh...wait..
yes, God gave me not one, but TWO little BOYS! A baker and kitchen utensil lover self that I am, I know in my heart of hearts that I must prevail in my dreams of having kitchen time with my kiddos, whatever gender/species they may be...Now I realize I may have to set aside the dream of the pink, ruffled apron wrapped around my young lad, but still, a Mom's gotta have her fun. I have decided, yes, I have boys, but what better tool can a Mama give to her boys than a way around the kitchen! Someday, they may knock a lady flat off her chair with their culinary skills, what lady wouldn't want that?! So I have made it a point to invest not only in their future, and the satisfaction of having my "dream" fulfilled, but to invest in the future of their perhaps lady that wears pink, or ruffles or...leather it may be. I may not see a little pony tail bobbin' on top of that kitchen chair he's standing on ramming that mixer into the sides of my stainless steel bowl, but I see those little "ham sandwiches" happily dancing from side to side, a chocolate mustache so wide it could be the new Pringles logo on the can, and a happy tune humming above the speed of the mixer motor. Nothing is more sweet to me.....
