Tonight it was a question I could answer. Easily. Sweet. Not all questions are so satisfying.
He: Hey Ma, quick question for you.....what's a shallot?
He was obviously in the grocery store buying items for dinner.I could hear snippets of conversations around him as we talked on the phone.
He: Hey, I just spotted some. Jeez, you're right. They do kinda look like garlic. Hey, thanks Ma.
Me: No problem.
Wonder what he's cooking up for dinner tonight. He's turning into quite the cook. And, to think it all started years ago when he made a batch of "Texas scrambled eggs" for his buddies.
I love it when they call and ask questions that I can answer. JP called last year, "Mom, how do you fix your mashed potatoes?" Another time, "How do I cook fresh green beans?"
ReplyDeleteMy kid too - he's cooking with shallots. And currants, too - I told him he could substitute raisins if he couldn't find currants, and he said, no, he was going to get currants! (this was for a salad)
ReplyDeleteSweet, and nice to be needed for your expertise from time to time...
