#1 competed in the State Fair 4-H Special Foods Contest. This is where said 4-Her has to prepare a dish in front of a judge. Prepare a place setting in front of a judge, and answer nutrition infornmation questions in front of a judge.
It's all very picky and very tedious. He did a great job and received a purple ribbon.
The kid loves to cook... his mother, not so much.
To help him get rid of the nerves, I took it upon myself to irritate him.
He's in 4th grade now and a bit too "grown-up" for picture taking and silly antics. So, I told him that if he didn't smile for the camera, I was going to sing at the top of my lungs in front of him and about 200 of his peers...
He's trying not to smile.
Setting the table.
I let him take my picture!
Bored sisters.
#2 {on the left}is like,
"Go ahead let her sing. Maybe they'll kick us out and we can go to the midway."
Here's what he prepared:
*******************************************************
Super BLT Club Pockets
1/2 cup crispy bacon crumbles
2 cups shredded lettuce
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
8 oz. turkey breast, coarsely chopped
1 Roma tomato, thin sliced
1/3 cup light ranch salad dressing
6 pita pockets (use the "super soft" kind - easier for kids to eat)
Leaf lettuce for garnish, if desired
Toss together all ingredients except the pita bread. Spoon 1/6 of the mixture into each pocket. Add leaf lettuce and serve promptly.

Dinner is served!

Can't believe how big your "baby" is these days! Sooo tall! He is just too cute. Next time I come up I will be sure to tell the kids all about how you used to embarass me singing in your loudest voice for all to hear! LOL
