Almost too pretty to eat

This summer I have been having the kids work in teams to take a night to cook dinner.  MaryAnne and Julia team up on Wednesday evening.  Julia is usually in charge of cooking dinner and MaryAnne is in charge of a dessert.  We have eaten some really yummy desserts on Wednesday nights.  Last week MaryAnne made a chocolate mousse cake.  It looked so pretty and so much like the picture in the cookbook. I don't often have food look as good as the cookbook picture.  It was Rebecca's birthday so we said that it was a birthday cake for her.  It was almost too pretty to eat, but we ate it anyway. It tasted even better than it looked!

It has been fun to have the kids cook. At least once a week they know there is something they like.  They do a good job and it lets me have time to do other things.  I think it has been a good thing all the way around.
