Ratatouille anyone?

A few days ago Aspen and I sat down to watch Ratatouille. We were half way finished when Aspen announced she was done watching the show and she was ready to start cooking! Well okay then! She does not take after her mother. I will cook but only when Zach doesn't :-). So I asked Aspen what it was she wanted to cook. She said she wanted to make something the whole family could enjoy (not sure where she came up with that term either but we went with it!)
She got an adorable apron for Christmas from Santa of course. She loves it and already had it on in preparation for the movie we were watching. She pulled out her spices, some cheese and some bread. She cut the bread up into little tiny pieces and added the cheese chunks. She added a few spices and some balsamic vinegar. She mixed it around for a while and then suggested we put it in the oven which we did. I wish I could say the final product was enjoyable but unfortunately I can't. Even she was dissapointed. So I let her make chocolate pudding afterwards. It is pretty much fail proof and she was proud of herself. All in all, we had a lot of fun.

Here are some pictures of her cooking:



And here is a picture of her dissappointed face when her creation didn't turn out quite as well as she had hoped:

well at least she's not afraid to show her true emotions and that she is willing to try new thing's even when they don't work out! :) Keep at it!
