With Sean and I both back at work this week, but the kids still on holidays, I decided that it would be their job to make dinner each night. The upside of this is that I don't have to decide what to eat, the downside is that they both insist on having supervision while they cook! My idea HAD been that they would prepare dinner while we were at work. However the reality is that they do nothing until one of us is home because they say they don't know what to do (more like they need someone to keep them on track should they get distracted and forget they were cooking and burn something!)
On Monday night Declan cooked sausages and veges, last night was burritos-a combined effort between the 2 of them.Tonight Declan made lamb steak, sweet potato fries (freshly cut) corn on the cob, carrot and broccoli. While he was chopping the sweet potato, Illi started on tomorrow night's dinner-shepherd's pie. Friday night will be fried rice prepared by Illi. Even though they both profess to not knowing how to cook, they are both critical of each other's preparation methods and cooking skills!
The above pic is of Declan cutting sweet potato while Illi looks on in between browning the mince for her pie.
