JAMBALAYA!

Despite the summer heat, per James request I made a big pot of Jambalaya yesterday morning. Taylor and I were playing and I told her "Mommy has to go cook now." So she says "I'll cook too!" She gets a bowl, a whisk, a nut cracker from the kitchen, some beads and a book called "cooking with the cat in the hat" for her recipe of "cookies with nuts" The beads were the nuts. She played I mean "cooked" on the kitchen floor along side me. She was done long before I was and went to take a nap.

I was still cooking away. After frying the chicken, chopping everything and cooking it. I was too hot and bothered to want any! All that hard work and it had to wait until dinner! I told James he was cooking lunch on the grill. He made hamburgers which are turning into a Sunday afternoon tradition. This is the third Sunday we have had them in a row for a late afternoon lunch. These were the best so far. Yum! Practice does make perfect with grilling and cooking (sometimes).
