Hi
Last night I told my son dinner had a lot of steps, and he'd need to
amuse himself quite a bit. He asked to help instead. So he helped me
make waffles (from scratch) with chicken (from whole) and gravy (his
was better than mine). It was great, he stood on a chair and really
followed directions. He's a very young five, usually he gets mad when
he can't do the eggs and leaves after two minutes. He made faces and
said pulling warm chicken off of bones was disgusting, but he did it
:-) He then set the table and we ate - it was delicious!

Just light on gravy, my fault - I don't keep stock on hand since DH is
allergic to it. The only almost emergency was when Zander mixed the
flour and water for the gravy and went to dump it in the waffle batter
- but I caught him in time.

PS We have been eating a lot better, but Zander's Dad was out so we
took the opportunity to eat something he can't have. But he can have
some leftover waffles this morning, and I got turkey SSG.
