Kids in the Kitchen

On the middle weekend of the Spring School holidays J, P & R and kids and Cliff, Mitch, Sheldon, Caitlin & I spent a few days at Mandurah.  We were only spending Saturday and Sunday night there.  We decided that the kids could cook dinner on Saturday night.  Caesar Salad was decided on.  Mitchell (18), Eila (15), Sheldon (15), Caitlin (14), Lewis (13) and Aaron (13) headed to the kitchen and without one fuss all decided what part of dinner they were doing.

Mitchell diced the chicken and he and Aaron headed off to the bbbq to cook it.  Caitlin diced and cooked the bacon.  The boys diced up bread and drizzled it with garlicy olive oil and put it into the oven.  Eila, Sheldon & the others then set about cutting up the salad.  Lettuce, onion, capsicum, avocado etc.

The final result was spectacular and delicious and we were all very proud of our kids.  Not so much because of the food but because not one of the whinged and there were no disagreements.  Total Team Work!

More amazing is that without a sound Eila headed back to the kitchen and washed and wiped up on her own!
