chef boy-oh-boy

breakfast with jack can be a challenge with jack at times.

first, when you ask him what he'd like, he infallibly replies, "pancakes. i want pancakes for breakfast!"

we blame tomie depaola for this.

but, more often than not, mommy will acquiese and prepare pancakes. on the weekends we do pancakes from scratch. during the week? aunt jemima all the way, baby.

one recent morning, jack decided that "chef jack" and "chef mommy" would prepare his morning repast:



he insisted that we wear the toques. but he did not insist that the pancakes be microwaved before he chowed down:

damn you, tommie depaola! and eat your heart out, chef combo!
