Bowl-ed Over
Hannah is a very creative cook. I enjoy watching her mix, pummel, and improvise with seemingly unrelated ingredients trying to come up with something delicious that belongs to her alone. At 12, she rarely takes any guidance or advice, anyway, so I try to stay out of her way.
Sunday morning, she made deliciously tender pumpkin muffins, eliminating the cloves in typical recipes. They were simple-tasting and didn’t taste at all like a muffin pretending to be pie.
However, as you can see from the photo. It didn’t get off to such a great start! By under-estimating the size her recipe, she under-estimated the bowl size. But, of course, rather than changing course midway through the recipe, she opted to continue dumping in all of the ingredients until it was time to stir. Only then, was I allowed to help. “Mom, will you help me transfer this to a larger bowl?”
