I woke up this morning appreciating the beautiful girls in my life - Carly is my sweet intense gem. She is preparing herself for high school and college. Yes she is almost 14 and is already thinking that way.
We were shopping a few weeks ago and went into Sur la Table and met one of the culinary teachers from Schoolcraft College who happened to work there for fun. (her dream has been to go into Culinary Arts) He was a very nice man and engaged in quite a conversation with her. He was giving Carly tips for cooking and also gave her the "in" to be truly prepared for classes at Schoolcraft. He also gave her his email - I told her to hang onto that - nice to have a contact so early on..... We are looking into her taking a culinary class at the college this summer. WOW! Can't believe I will be sending her there.
Carly continues to amaze me - she looks up recipes and makes everything from "scratch". Her Dutch Great Grandma would be so proud. I came home from work about a week ago and Carly was making cookies - flour, sugar and eggs all over the counter :) I asked her where she got the recipe and she said she made it up. She then told me that all you need is flour sugar, butter, and water.... oh and a pinch of salt and you can make anything! We didn't have enough flour so she substituted pancake mix for half of it and the cookies turned out GREAT!!
The nice part about Carly wanting to go into Culinary Arts is that we get to experience all of her creations. She is going places...... :)
Love it! It is so nice to hear that she is so enthusiastic about cooking. So many young people today think that making dinner means going out to get it from somewhere. Oh and feel to feel to let us taste some of those culinary delights too!!!
