Today The Boy's cooking project was sausage pasta with buttery broccoli. He made fork holes in the sausages to stop them from bursting open.
He waited patiently for the bubbles to start in the pan before adding the pasta.
We talked about using a steamer for the broccoli to keep the goodness inside.
He was also fascinated with leaving the sausage fat to cool and solidify before disposing of it. We talked about how it can block sinks if you pour the liquid fat away and he had gross, messy fun scraping the solidified fat into the bin.
So far he's made all three lunches this week!
Monkey Girl had some fun icing Oliver Twist biscuits this morning as part of her Charles Dickens project.
While the kiddies ate them she summarised the plot for the two youngest who have yet to read it.
She also made a brilliant backdrop to an Oliver Twist scene she is designing. I love the dirty cobbles!
Panda Girl did some cute panda work on the computer.
And this afternoon we had three hours of various gym classes.
This little man (pictured yesterday) is a trooper when it comes to evening ballet chauffeuring for his big sisters.
