Baking with a Boy

Today I made cherry chocolate-chip banana bread with 4yo Drake. Here are some things I tried to teach him:

1. Dip and sweep
2. Pour
3. Whisk
4. Fold
5. Sneeze AWAY from the mixing bowl
6. Lick the spatula AFTER the dough is out
7. To lick a bowl, sweep with a finger, then transfer to mouth. Do not stick head in bowl, which results in dough in hair.

Here is something he taught me:

8. Do not plan to serve boy-helped baked goods to guests, only family.

Sigh.

    This sounds like a PERFECT afternoon. I hope you took pictures of perfect Drake. Though I think you meant banana “BREAD” not “break” but the irony was not lost. :)
