Margie Grace loves to cook! She can stay busy for a relatively long period of time with a bowl and spoon, mixing and "cooking" as she calls it. After she is done eating a meal, she likes to "cook" what food remains on her plate, meaning she likes to stir it together. (We typically try to remove her plate before this becomes a terrible mess!) And any time Neil and I are in the kitchen, she asks us if she can cook too: "Margie Grace cook!" she says. So lately we've been indulging this interest (under very strict supervision) and often pull a stool up to the counter and have her assist in small "cooking" tasks: helping to mix dry ingredients, adding cheese or nuts to a mixture or helping to put cookie dough on a pan for baking. Here are a few photos of Margie Grace helping her Daddy stir and "cook" some grits. She is a great help in the kitchen!
