In lieu of recent events (Mommy burning her thumb on the baking tray), Mr. N thought it would be a good idea to share his “Kitchen Safety Tips.” Unlike Miss A (who often breaks rules 11, 12 and 19), Mr. N is quite concerned about his safety and the safety of others. And he’s often quick to point out when Miss A is violating any of the rules below. Enjoy!
1. Be sure to wear good oven mitts.
2. Kids shouldn’t touch raw meat – and if they do, they need to wash their hands.
3. Be sure to wash your hands before and after cooking.
4. Wash your hands after cracking eggs.
5. Put long hair into a pony tail.
6. Kids should never touch the stove or oven.
7. Don’t touch the dish disposal.
8. Only chop with a sharp knife with a grown-up.
9. Let food cool before sampling.
10. No more than one person on one stool and be careful.
11. No standing on the kitchen table.
12. No climbing on the counters.
13. Be sure to wash the counters before and after cooking.
14. If you spill ice out of the ice maker, pick it up off the floor.

were awfully good winter fare.
diced things all the time. Quite a lot of progress in a week, I was proud of him. Nervous though, and nervous his little sister’s gonna want to start chopping things too. While Mom finished dicing, Mr. N juiced the lemon, then drank the excess straight! Miss A wasn’t so keen on that. A little bit of spice, a little bit of microwaving, and a little bit of mashing and we had Appelmoes.
