Jared had his first cooking class today at school. They made biscuits, and we spent the drive home trying to get him to talk more about it. We took home a box of his biscuits and the recipe. And so the conversation went like this:
Me: "So what did you put in the biscuits?"
Jared: "Flour!"
Me: "And what else?"
Jared: "...and salt!"
Me: "And what else?"
Jared: "Growing!"
At this point, Audrey started shouting for our attention ("Puppet!!" she shrieked giddily as she pulled her sock off her foot and put it on her hand. "Audrey Puppet!"), and I wasn't able to ask Jared what he meant by that.
Then, we opened the recipe and looked at it. One of the ingredients?
1/2 cup shortening.
