C made dinner

C made chili tonight. She loves chili. She'll order it in a restaurant, get it at the buffet and at Wendy's. We don't have it much at home, 'cause I really can't/don't eat spicy food like that. But, the weather change made me think that we should have something hot and homey for dinner, since B was pulling a whole day of OT covering for someone, and would be tired and hungry when he got home.

We bought the ingredients, and I guided C through it. She browned the ground beef (I drained the grease - no taking chances like that with her - she's only 8!) and mixed all the tomatos and beans, then combined it all and stirred and watched over it. She did a great job! L wanted seconds! No greater compliment than a 3 yr old wanting more. She was so proud. I should have taken a picture, but I was busy with that embroidery machine. Dumb ass mom... oh well. We'll cook again and I'll get her then.
