Spending time with my grandkids is always fun, sometimes an adventure, and often messy... especially if it's their first time scrambling eggs. Since our recipe called for four eggs, I brought out a dozen to be on the safe side:) Although my honey was ready to go, I started him off with a quick demo and accidentally got to show him how to retrieve some shell droppings from the mixture. Jude did better than I by the time we were on egg number four. Beating the eggs to a light and airy place took a little bit more concentration. With my hands over his, I helped him tilt the bowl and whisk the eggs with a fork. Boy, did he feel great once he got the hang of it. After conquering the eggs, everything else was a piece of cake. And, if we were baking a cake, it would have tasted just as good as our fried matzah!
Happy Cooking,
Bubbie and her Grandkids

Baking With Kids: Crack An Egg Like A Pro
When I was a teen we used to play, "How many kids can squish into a Volkswagon Beetle at one time?" Today as a grandmom the game of the day was, "How many toddlers can we get to sit still long enough, to snap one picture?" I'm proud to announce that it only took six adults, and many clicks on two cameras to come up with this miraculous shot! Not bad though, if you consider the amount of treats these sweeties just finished off during and after their Egg Hunt.
Nap time for all!
Happy Easter,
Bubbie and Jude
