cooking with maggie

maggie loves to help me in the kitchen. however, if you've ever tried cooking with a toddler, you know that it usually takes at least twice as long with three times the mess afterwards. it's definitely an exercise in patience, but she enjoys it so much that i try to embrace the experience.

the other day, i was making pickles from a huge harvest of home-grown cucumbers that my mom gave me, and i let maggie make her own batch. i gave her some sliced cucumbers, salt and pepper shakers, a cup of water and a spoon and let her go at it. after about 15 minutes of mixing, dunking and sprinkling, she took a taste and declared, "mmmmm... it's tasty! <gulp>". i see an oscar in this girl's future.

Hello!

Your friend Jenny Chang referred me to your blog and just wanted to say that I love reading all your entries and your family is so beautiful :)

Had a quick question- I'm hoping to switch to cloth diapers soon and heard you were the person to ask! How is your experience using them vs. disposables? How do you go about washing/cleaning them?

Thanks! It seems Jenny is a great publicist for my blog :)

I love cloth diapering! I will email you separately with answers to your questions.
