I may lose more weigh than on chemo...

I used to eat breakfast.  In fact, I really like breakfast; however, now, by the time I get to breakfast, Nolan has gotten a hold of the kitchen and is doing his daily recipe.  (I have limited him to one a day.)  Recipes with Nolan will not only curb your appetite, they eliminate it.  For example, today, he made flour, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and egg yolk.  Okay, that wasn't so bad, but then he added rubbed sage, soy sauce, salt, baking powder and whipped cream.  Then, he required me to beat the egg white into stiff peaks (he actually said, "Stiff, not soft Mommy.") and put it in the frig until tomorrow for waffles.  We are currently simmering the flour, soy sauce, sage, cinnamon, salt , sugars, baking powder, and whipped cream on "2" for 51 minutes.  If this is how chefs are born, I have a new found respect for their mothers.

I couldn't say if this is how chefs are born, but I will attest that you are a wonderful Mom. Just keep him out of the saffron!

Perhaps he is a prodigy, just finding his "passion".

James Beard, Wolfgang Puck, Emeril Lagasse, Nolan Hainsworth, Chef Boyardee, Colonel Sanders...It works...Keep the fire extinguisher handy.

Love Jane

Umm, maybe he's a chemist not a chef? I'm not entirely sure that's food. =)
