A lot of you know there's been some strain with FSS lately, but things are going back to normal if not better! FI will be out of town playing a show. I asked FSS what we should do during our night together and he asked me to teach him to cook and then have a Harry Potter marathon.

I handed him my cook book and of all things the kiddo decides he wants to make a rack of lamb, but wants me to choose dessert. He takes after his father and loves all things fire, so I decided on bananas flambé. We are all stocked up and ready for tomorrow (thank you FI for adding wine since I won't have a car). He is beyond excited and spent tonight texting his friends that I'm going to let him light bananas on fire!

I honestly assumed he was going to insist on spending the night at a friends house tomorrow. The fact that he not only wants to stay home, but we came up with something awesome to do together makes me wanna cry.

    You are going to teach him to cook starting with lamb and flambe. This is really hilarious to me for whatever reason. I was thinking you would start with like burgers or soup or something easy.

    That's like learning to drive on a blue angel.

  • That's adorable. You'll get some quality time with him, perfect for bonding. Rack of lamb is not so hard, rub a dub dub and in the oven :) And if there's any of that bananes flambées left...you know what to do...

  • That is awesome.  I love cooking with the kids - SD doesn't show much interest but SS seems to enjoy it although they are both typically big fans of the results :-)

    Hey I figured wed do something easy but I wasn't going to tell him no when he picked then lamb. I feel like when my grandma taught me she started with chicken pot pie, so apparently cooking in my family doesn't come with training wheels.

    Reminds me of this. I do think it's nice that he wants to spend the night learning to cook with AFox though.

    ETA: for some reason the person who made that video thought they needed a dance breakdown. Not sure why.

    Although I disagree that there's ever such a thing as too much garlic!
