Playing in the Kitchen
It was Top Chef day at camp yesterday, and Louisa came home all jazzed up about the food cooked by her “village”. They apparently won for the healthiest recipes, and Louisa couldn’t wait to recreate them at home. But, I can’t make magic happen in the refrigerator. I can’t wave a wand across it to make the needed ingredients magically appear. But that didn’t stop Louisa who proceeded to call up Joe in the office and ask him to pick up a few things on the way home.
So our homegrown Top Chef whipped up a dessert for us using tortillas. She filled them with a mixture of vanilla yogurt, fruit, cinnamon, and whipped cream. On top she crumbled Teddy Grahams, and drizzled melted Dove chocolate squares (a staple ingredient in our house). As you can see, she has a flair for assembly and presentation. Although I wasn’t especially in the mood for yogurt, it was a pretty good effort. My only complaint, Miss Louisa, is that the next time you play in the kitchen, clean up duty is also required. This isn’t a television studio with helpers scurrying around when you’re done! Or is that how she sees me?
