My daughter sometimes likes to do simple things with me in the kitchen like
adding ingredients to a recipe or stirring her own chocolate milk.  She's
not advanced enough to flip a fried egg because at four, I don't let her
near the stove.  I've never been very good at doing eggs myself, except
scrambled or boiled, so fried eggs are usually reserved for when Dad cooks
or we go out to eat.  I tried to teach her to crack an egg into a bowl, but
I guess she wasn't quite ready for that.  At first she wasn't tapping the
egg on the edge of the counter hard enough to break it, and when I told her
to do it a little harder, man did she bang it!  I got egged in a very big
way.  Egg all down the front of my shirt, in my hair, dripping off my nose
even.  You wouldn't think there was that much goo in such a small thing as
an egg, but that was a moment made for the video camera.

Hello, I know that I am not the only mom or dad here that teaches our
children to cook.  I want to know some of your methods when teaching your
kiddos how to do this or that in your kitchens.  Gab had to learn to flip a
fried egg on her own, I cannot do it to save my life!
