Matthew's preschool class took a field trip to the Young Chef's Academy. As usual, Matthew was pretty geeked about getting to ride on a school bus. He was a little concerned about what they were going to be making once they got there because at one point he asked, "Mommy, what if we make veggies. You know I really don't like veggies. They're yucky!" Much to his relief, he discovered that they would be making bread sticks, not veggies. Chef Kim and Chef Karen were great as they led the preschoolers through the steps to make their bread sticks. All of the children got to help measure, stir, knead and roll the dough before popping their creations in the oven to bake. While they were waiting for their treats to come out of the oven, they played "Pass the Hot Jalapeno", in other words, "Hot Potato" with a chili pepper hot pad. Matthew was quite the passer, which paid off with his being the last one standing. Yeah Matthew! Once the bread sticks were out of the oven and cooled, the children gobbled them down, loaded themselves on to the bus and headed back to school. Overall Matthew really enjoyed the experience. We are talking about going back this summer and inviting Aunt Carrie and her crew! Won't that be fun...5 kids and only 2 mommies. I wonder if they will let us bring wine?! :) Click here to check out the pictures of his trip.
