The sight above
greeted me as I was enjoying a morning cup of tea during a recent visit to our
Georgia tribe.
Grandson Nate, almost
nine years old, had quietly assembled a skillet, mixing bowl, spatula, and egg
carton from the refrigerator. I noticed him after he had pulled the family
“time-out chair” in front of the stovetop and set to work.
During the family’s
June beach vacation, a cousin about two years Nate’s senior had introduced his
younger relative to the joys of preparing scrambled eggs.

A male at home in the
kitchen is not unusual in our family. Nate is following in the footsteps of his
dad Walt; Baboo, his dad’s dad; and his uncle, our younger son Jeremy.

good job Nate.. and I feel all children should be taught to cook.. my brothers wife good not even boil and egg when they got married and my hubby's first wife had never cooked anything when they got married... male and female should be able to feed themselves... you are blessed to have all those cooking males in your life.
ReplyDeleteGood for Nate! It's good to teach the guys how to cook. It makes things go a lot smoother when something happens to mom.
ReplyDeleteI love men who can cook. David can't or won't, but my sons do. My youngest son John has put on weight from eating his own cooking.
ReplyDeleteGood for your grandson, learning a
cooking skill. I think he can scramble eggs better than I can. Dianne
This is awesome, more boys need to learn how to cook!!!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Nate. My dad was chief cook in our house and I do believe men make the best ones.
ReplyDeleteExcellent to be so comfortable in the kitchen and in front of the camera. Every Blessing Freda from Dalamory

ReplyDeleteI love seeing confidence in the kitchen.
He'll never go hungry.
