Creative cooking tools for kids

The girls were preparing Mejeddarah (lentils with rice) for their history class today. The recipe called for chopped onions so the girls decided they needed more than just a knife and cutting board for the job. It required a trip to the sports closet in the basement for the last 'tool.' Ski goggles. 080408cook2_580.jpg G. did the onion chopping but L. said that the 'onion germs' were going to 'get me' so she donned a pair of goggles as well while prepping the lentils. 080408cooking1_580.jpg This is reminiscent of their creative approach to laundry chores last summer that required swimming goggles while sorting socks. And L. liked the goggles so much she kept them on for dinner. 080408cook3_580.jpg After dinner, G. asked me, "Mom are you going to use those pictures you took at dinner on your blog?" "I'd like to. Can I?" "I guess so. It is a good idea you know. The ski goggles worked." Yup, they did.
