I think Liz is still too young to cook. Are John and Elly nuts? She’s only around 8 or 9. I didn’t let my kids that young anywhere near the stove but they could microwave or make sandwiches out of the fridge or pour a cereal. John and Elly need to wait til Liz is a few years older. They still have Mike so have him cook dinner.
this is why moms never get a chance to be sick. someone has to feed the family and unless dad is a chef or they go out a lot she still has to get up and cook.
This happened! When my well-meaning kids decided to make mac and cheese for dinner, they put on the macaroni without thinking to stir it. The result was a block of pasta that came out on the spoon like this. A good laugh means nothing is wasted. And, we had a dog.
I was cooking as a cub scout. Outside I could see all I had to work with. I used cooking sets made from food cans, wax and fiberboard. I learned to stir while focused on the eventually ready to eat food. Of course often the food was obtained from cans. Cans were not as easily violated by most critters.
With her mother doing the home cooking and her father a professional chef, my wife never cooked until the “audition piece” just before we were married. Yet she has always been an excellent cook (as am I, but from practice since childhood), so skilled observation has its uses.
HELLO!!!! Cartoon!! Not real life. It’s Funny!! Sheesh. I know young 20-somethings that still make this same kind of mistake in the kitchen. Better they learn from a young age how to feed themselves, anyway.

It depends on the child if s/he is able to cook dinner. I do think she’ĺl need help reaching the furnace.

When I had to cook, my favorite recipe was macaroni and cheese with chopped hot dogs – the little ones loved it!

My 2 sons learned how to cook at age eight. If you can reach the stove without standing on anything….you can cook!
