Aiden loves to help me make gazpacho. I cut the tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, green pepper in quarters, and put it all in a large mixing bowl for Aiden. Then I mix red wine vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a measuring cup. Then Aiden puts the vegetables in the blender piece by piece. He pours in the mixture from the measuring cup into the blender and then with supervision, he runs the blender in intervals until everything is "soup".
The kids loves to "cook soup" for Mommy and Daddy. And Adam and I love fresh gazpacho on a hot summer evening. Oh yeah, since he makes the gazpacho, he eats it too...a definite plus. Sky will taste his brother's soup but she's not a big fan of gazpacho...yet.
All right Aiden, the CHEF at work in the kitchen. What skills you are learning, gazpacho, I don't think I have ever had any myself. I don't digest green peppers too well, but all the other ingredients are my favorites. What a great helper you are and a smart Mommy to allow you to help. Believe it or not, I was never allowed to cook in my Mom's kitchen and didn't know how to cook until after I got married and had my own kitchen, so I know this is just another skill to add to your multi-faceted resume. Great Job!!
ReplyDeleteI love the shirtless chef! Too cute Mr. Moose!
