Making meat...

"Mom, I want to cook meat."

"What kind?"

"I want to cook steak."

"How about trying hamburger first?

"Ok."

"How do you want to cook it? On a grill, open fire?"

"The stove is fine."

So off to the store I went to buy a pound of hamburger. This was my responsibility as an unschooling mom. I pushed back the thoughts of how just a few years ago, DS12 ate vegetarian with me.

I brought the meat home, and he did the rest. He shared his lunch accomplishment with his brother.  They both said the burgers were excellent.

I think I'll ask Jake if he wants to start making supper for the family on some nights.
