J in the Kitchen: Rice and Salmon

At 12, J thinks he’s old enough to stay home by himself for at least a couple of hours at a time. Doesn’t that mean he’s also old enough to learn how to feed himself with something other than peanut butter and jelly or Nutella sandwich?

Plain rice. J got the 1:2 rice-water ratio down pat.

 

Salmon, salt, pepper.  375 degree in the oven. Easy peasy. 

Maybe lower temperature next time. We’ll work on the appeal factor later but this is quite edible and delicious.

What are we doing this summer?

What are we doing this summer?

There's 86 days of summer vacation this year

School will come along before you know it
So the annual problem for PB, J and Mom
Is finding a good way to spend it

Like maybe, read a hundred of books
Or clean up the Legos in the play room

Getting re-acquainted with Wii and Playstation
Or go to one camp or another

Taking a road trip, play tennis and swim
Learn to cook, at least to boil eggs and make rice in the rice cooker

So Grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins across the country and continent
Stick with us, 'cause PB and J will try to do it all
