Why I Had Kids

I love to cook.  The ritual of planning, shopping and preparing meals for my family is very satisfying to me.  Even so, there are some kitchen chores I simply don't like to do.  Peeling potatoes.  Cutting raw meat into bite sized pieces. And, this time of year, shucking sweet corn.  It is such a mess, you never get all the silk removed.  Even so, I love sweet corn and my family loves sweet corn so it is on the menu tonight.

I worked a half day today, took the girls to the pool and they came home kind of tired and bickery. They were rattling around the kitchen while I was prepping dinner and I had an "Ah-Ha Moment."  These girls are old enough to shuck sweet corn!


That was a very lovely realization..... Kinda made my day.
