It's About Time

Lately I've been trying to follow John's fine example and include the younger girls in baking and cooking. As Millie becomes more capable, it's easy for me to let her go to town without remembering that when she was Susie's age, she was already scrambling eggs with John and making shakes.

John's super. When he's in the kitchen, he'll usually include the younger girls in the mix, so one recent morning, I let Annie and Susie make the Ooh-La-La Oven Pancake, which is usually Millie's specialty.

I'm not completely sure yet,


but Piper still may be too young to be allowed near the stove.



She's a fine flour mule, though.



They needed my help and assurance as they followed the recipe,






but the resulting pancake was ooh, la, la!
