The chicken legs were quite culinary for us, so we decided to hit the other side of the spectrum and do something easy-peasy for our next meal. We still found it in a cookbook though, so it counts.
It counts the same way the children having hot dogs on the fire and my having rosemary-skewered chicken at my sister's house counted for last week. A meal out of the ordinary, something new and different to broaden our horizons.
Tonight was yet another smash success...
 |
| Peeling the corn |
 |
| And soaking it... |
 |
| Mommy's loving the teamwork already. As soon as they get invested like this, I know it's going to be a success. Even if they don't like the food in the end, we're all working together, having fun, and making memories. Goodness, that was a bit sentimental of me. :) |
 |
| Stacking the grill. |
 |
| And here they learned how filthy charcoal is. :D |
 |
| Didn't slow them down though. They were seriously invested in getting this meal going! |
 |
| Here comes fire! |
 |
| Look at how pretty our little wee patio grill is. :) |
 |
| Making the spice rub. |
 |
| Maybe nobody else has noticed the theme yet, but yes, my children practically live ON the table. Chairs are for wusses. |
 |
| NOT thrilled with the sensation of raw meat... |
 |
| Even less thrilled than her brother was! |
 |
| Wrapping the corn like a boss. |
 |
| She was very meticulous. |
 |
| Start cooking, food! We're hungry! |
 |
| So simple. And so worth it. Tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty! |
 |
| And Rebecca agreed! Steak is GOOD! |
 |
| This is his, "Oh my god Mom it tastes like blood and stuff" face. I think he was secretly more concerned about the fact that I had showed them a picture of *where* on a cow the steak comes from. And he didn't want to eat cow butt. He's seen what they're covered in. :) He opted for a hot dog instead. |
 |
| CORN!!!! |
 |
| Everybody loves corn! |
