Baking

I love to bake.  Miss Gosling loves it too.  I'm pretty sure she likes the beaters, the sugar bowl and pats of butter best, but along the way she's learning how to stir, use a rolling pin, break an egg, measure a teaspoon and use a knife safely. She's also seeing how real food is prepared from scratch.  I don't get too hung up on super healthy food.  I think there's value in looking at the whole experience of preparing, sharing, eating and storing food, not just the fat content of the raw ingredients.  We made these shortbread for afternoon tea with little friends, and ate them in the sun on the verandah.  Lovely.
