the next top chef?

While I'm making lunch in the kitchen these days, wee one keeps busy inventing new dishes. She's got a bin full of plastic pretend food and a toy microwave (both hand-me-downs from her brothers) and she randomly tosses things in the microwave for "wee one surprise stew".

Today on the menu: carrot-chicken-cheerio-orange-french fry-pie pie. Actually pretty tasty looking as far as her dishes go. Last week I found her shoes in there!

She seems to have all the food groups covered!

She does, Marlyn!

I wonder what food group the shoes are from.

Very cute! My 4 yr old has a kitchen complete with (random) food items. He likes to make soup. Today it was chicken, lettuce and strawberry soup--YUM!

Cake is a very important ingredient of stew.

Anita, isn't there a line from the old "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" where Willy Wonka throws a pair of sneakers into a vat of candy-- and explains by saying, "gives it a little 'kick'?"

Shoes? I think they'd have to count as roughage...

My son likes to put his Matchbox cars in his pots and make "car soup".

I love it when they start playing like Mommy and Daddy.

I checked with my expert and yes 2 Silver Cats, that movie did have that line.

I was thinking they were roughage too, Sarah R.
