Last week was Deep Cleaning week. We pulled everything out of every room and went through it. It felt as if we were packing to move. What a blessing it is, though, to actually reach the *end* of cleaning during the day.
This week Paul implemented Kids Cook Week. Each older child cooks a meal, which they’ve done many times, but this week I have the whole week off to organize two last cabinets and start our taxes. Jess started the week with Cheeseburger Soup and Parmesan Breadsticks. Then Tuesday night it was Jacob’s turn and he chose Sushi of all things. I thought hamburgers, a casserole or bbq, but no, he goes for the gusto.
After arming himself with a YouTube video, all ingredients were prepared and after a few wrecks, he got it down. He made Americanized Sushi – two versions of the California roll.
He is in the process of lightly smoking a salmon to make authentic sushi, which I am not too sure I’ll try. ;)
I don’t think the feat is necessarily in making dinner, or even making sushi, but in making sushi for ten people. That is a feat. Seventy two hand-crafted pieces.
There wasn’t a person who didn’t gobble it up.
It was very filling and absolutely deLICious.
You can have a piece of cucumber IF you pick it up with your chopsticks.
Jacob read off proper chopstick edicate. Never rub them together(it’s rude), never stick them up in our food(It’s a funeral rite), never do walrus teeth, or play drums on the table. But they did.
And here Gracie demonstrates the proper way to hold chopsticks, or at least her way.
Elijah managed to discover catapulting all on his own!
Gracie is hiding after already being hit.
Success!
And success!
