Cooking update

On Sunday after church, Y. decided that she had a craving for baozi (steamed buns). We had some leftover pulled pork from a previous night's dinner, so she whipped up some homemade baozi. Well as fast as one can whip up baozi, it's a risen dough, so it takes a while. Y. had a late-ish lunch. 

Though she didn't make a huge amount, there were some leftover, so I was offered some baozi for lunch. I'm never going to turn that down. 

My plan for children to each have a night they are responsible for dinner is working well. Each of them has been responsible and started in a timely manner and all have had dinner on the table without any problems. I've fielded a couple questions, but that's it. 

Last week everyone chose meals they had made before. This week some have decided to venture into New territory. L. wanted to make calzones this week, so will be learning to make bread dough. Y. had been our resident bread baker for a while, so I told them they needed to work out the bread making instruction. K. has decided he wants to serve sausage risotto, so I will need to give home a quick lesson in risotto making. 

All in all, I'm very pleased with how things are working. And by making each person's night to cook just once a week, it doesn't feel overwhelming.
