    Oh man, my wife HATES the omelette episode, it’s too real for her. I tend to do better with the kids when we cook together, but it’s also down to the projects I pick. Making pasta from scratch is messy, fun, and you can be imprecise. Baking (her specialty) is not so forgiving.

    Chores, I think, are easier to teach but harder to enforce.

      Oof I feel her pain. Baking with children is rough

      I try to do a lot of mise en place before the kids know I am cooking anything. I would put them all the ingredients for all states in pre measured and put into easy to pour containers. Often I’d make 1.5x the dough so I could cut off 1/3 and that’s the kids bread - no matter how bad it is - I’ve still got the rest.
