We are staying with some friends in West Jordan (the mom and kids are out of town) and we were making dinner in the kitchen. I decided now is the time to start teaching Bridget about cooking since she is demonstrating interest, so I was walking her through a basic roux- white sauce to mix with the spaghetti sauce we had just made. Here is the gist of the conversation:
Me: Okay so the trick to cooking anything is to add just a little at a time. If you add too much milk you can get lumps. See how I just added too much? It is a little lumpy now.
Bridget: Yes but you could just get rid of those lumps with a whisk.
Me: Um, yeah, but I don't think she has a whisk.
Bridget: WHAT! What kind of person does not have a whisk?
Exactly.
Well said Bridget. We didn't have a cheese grater until your mom rode in on a white horse.
