Helping Mommy

While Mommy was trying to perfect the art of pie making, Khloe decided that her toys had become very boring and she needed Mommy's attention. However, Mommy was busy as already mentioned, baking pies. This brought the Engle kitchen to a stalemate....The solution...Khloe has now been introduced to the "finer" parts of the kitchen.


Did it make a mess? Was it slightly inconvenient to a mother who likes cleanliness? A big "YES" to both questions. Thankfully, this mother is learning the valuable lesson that some things, such as ultimate perfection, need to be put aside in the face of allowing your children to enjoy life, and make fun memories! So last Saturday was fun for both Khloe and Mommy....and would you believe it, the kitchen was not even that hard to clean up:)
Now, you are probably wondering how the pies turned out. Well, the recipe is an old family recipe, one of those tried and true type! So the recipe did not fail, but unfortunately, I have one of those ancient ovens that seems to enjoy heating the house more than attending to its baking duties. So though they were not a flop. They were not quite as perfect as I would have liked. Oh well, we will just keep trying.
