Ulster Weavers has a great line of children’s aprons and matching chef hats.  Television food channels are more and more popular and spark interest in creativity in people of all ages.  Cooking is a life skill that everyone should learn.  In my generation, many house-hold tasks were seperated by sex.  A woman learned how to cook and a man assumed that his mother, girlfriend or wife would cook for him, and a man took care of the yard.  So men didn’t learn how to cook or do laundry and women never learned how to cut grass or take out the garbage.  I’m sooo glad we are past that phase of growth as people!

My brother and I were fortunate because our parents treated us as equals in the chore department.  My brother is an excellent cook and I can cut my own grass!  I’ve taken this philosophy with my son.  He has a passion for cooking.  So encourage your children, let them dress the part, help them learn.  Knowledge is never wasted.  Let’s watch our friends make some monkey smoothies!
