The Help


*this is actually us making black-bean burgers, but same stance*


*more of the b-b-burgers*


*tamed by the kitchen-aid*


*the end result of the flour-throwing*


After completing this thought-provoking book, I decided to try my hand at home-made bread. Someone insists on helping, mostly in this manner:

Ella: [grabbing at chair and pointing to kitchen] "Chair! Stand! See!"

Me: "Okay...yeah?...uh-huh..." [oblivious to the chair grabbing, happily proofing the yeast]

Ella: [dragging/pushing chair towards counter] "Help! Stand! Stand! Stand! Stand!"

Me: [dodging the chair plowing into the backs of my knees] "Oh, you want to help, okay climb up..."

Ella: [grabbing for any/everything in reach, stabbing it into the bowl of flour, exponentially increasing the mess-factor] "Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!"

Me: ***omg, little kids are SO much better than babies!!!***
