What? It rains here? Believe it or not, yep...then it gets humid ;)
So Monday proved to be a bit spontaneous in the Dosil household. My dear hubby is not what I would call a 'baker', although I'm sure he would disagree and tell you that his cookies from a tube are highly qualified enough to be considered real baking ;)
Shortly after he came home from work and finished dinner, I observed him milling around the kitchen. Not sure what he was doing, I figured he wasn't making any noise, or a mess, so I let him be ;) Then he started to ask me where things were. Things that belonged in cookies. So I went in to investigate.
Sure enough I saw that he had a collection of ingredients on the counter (although when he asked me what the difference in our two flours were, I noticed he had taken out the whole wheat kind and swiftly replaced it with the regular, white kind). I also noticed he had mentioned using our Smart Balance spread instead of checking for butter in the freezer...oh boy.
My darling husband, Kyle, getting it all together...
I moved in. So did Abby once she heard the word 'cookie'.
Abby and Daddy once she took her place in the kitchen ;)Once she took her position on the counter (thanks Melynda!), she began helping Daddy make yummy, chocolate chip cookies. Since I was, of course, photographing the event, which it was (an event, that is) , I was not paying attention to Kyle's method of mixing ingredients- which is "Throw everything in the bowl at once, regardless of directions, and have at it." I made him scoop as much flour as possible out and follow the directions.
Mixing some of the ingredients together...
She's just too precious...
Rolling the dough into balls- a daddy habit ;)
Getting ready for the oven...
Licking the dough off her hands ;)Man, oh man, guys don't like following directions, or being told to follow the directions- even in the kitchen ;)
Abby and Daddy's 1st homemade batch of cookies- YUM!
Intermission- getting ready for bedDespite some minor recipe directions infractions, the cookies were saved and I must say, it really looked like he and Abby were having a good time! They turned out very yummy and it was an utter joy watching this fun Daddy/Daughter evening ;) Especially tasting their goodies!
Ready, set, COOKIES!!!
Umm...good ;)
Finishing every, last bite!I love my family.
luvin abby's hair all slicked back !
ReplyDeleteFirst I have to say I love your kitchen. I want to see more of the house. Second, cookies at bedtime always taste just so good. What a great dad for doing it the "right" way. hehe Man that kid is cute, and she just looks so comfy in those pjs. I just have to ask, how long did it take for you, yes you, to clean the kitchen? or did you luck out with a highly qualified daddy who cleaned up too?
ReplyDeleteHe actually cleaned up the kitchen himself (that was the deal), but somehow left out wiping up the counter...so I guess I did do some clean up ;)
ReplyDeleteWe can now give Kyle ad Abby the detail fo bringing deserts to family gatherings. They will treasure the moments.
