Sure. :-) It's why I take pictures of the steps involved to make a lot
of the stuff I make. My intention is to "someday" print an illustrated
book for them.

I know what many of Chris' favorites are; he's more interested in
cooking, I think, than Beck is. He's been cooking Thanksgiving's turkey
for friends in Tucson for 15 years; the first five years I could expect
(and looked forward to) phone calls on T Day morning that always began,
"MOM! How do I. . . .?" His group of friends does a shared-labor
Thanksgiving Day celebration. I loved to hear, when he was in school
and hosting a bunch, how each participant brought the dish that "meant"
Thanksgiving at Home to her/him.

Beck is married to a finicky eater and she's not so inclined and doesn't
have as much time to put into cooking as I did and do. She prefers to
do something else with her time. That distresses me because of LaTwerp.
She eats way too much highly processed food. She's a skinny kid now but
it's the formed habits that distress me. I'm willing to bet that she
will struggle with weight "issues" by the time she's 35.

The business of the kids' favorites is interesting. I will have both of
them in house this weekend (Chris arrived last night) and will ask so I
am certain the how-to-do-it is recorded.
