Connor Gets Creative

4th of July Cocktails

Connor's Creation

Happy late 4th of July!  I spent the holiday at my sister's house.  She really got into it.  She even made themed cocktails.  Which is also the reason I didn't post yesterday.  Stupid cocktails. But they're pretty.

Today I texted my son while I was at work.  He's hanging around the house on summer vacation.  I figured he'd appreciate something to do.  So I asked him to make dinner.  Be creative, I said.  Go nuts.

Given that I just gave him full latitude in the kitchen I was curious to see what he'd come up with.  And a little scared.

But when I got home I found the smoke alarm silent and the whole place smelling great.  In order to be healthy he cooked ground turkey and put it on a bed of quinoa.  Which he proudly pronounced as "that stuff you like".  He sliced up tomatoes and placed a fried egg on top ready to spill out the yolky goodness over everything.

So I guess that was the recipe just then.  It was good, too.  The kid's got some skill.  He didn't even burn the house down.
