Aaron in the kitchen
As a mother, I can’t help but blog about this, heheh–my youngest son’s first attempt at making homemade pastry. . . I noticed for the past few days he has been rummaging through our cookbooks. Then he would come to me and ask if certain ingredients were okay with my diet, ha! Soon, he had narrowed down his selection to a poppy seed roll. Below is a picture of his first completed attempted at making a poppy seed roll all by himself!
Now, this is the third picture I took of him holding his dish because for some reason he kept closing his eyes when I took his picture. I kept telling him I want another one because his eyes were closed, so in this shot he was “concentrating” on keeping his eyes open and forgot to smile, ha! But really, he was happy when his pastry came out of the oven.
Below is what his poppy seed roll looked like when we sliced it open.
Not bad for his first attempt! It’s not quite as pretty as the one pictured in the recipe book, but it tasted just fine. So speaking of “taste,” I had to capture his first taste of it. 
And here it is below:
Ummmmm.
Nothing like enjoying the fruits of one’s labor. . . Thank God he also enjoyed sharing his final product with us and wanted to know if it tasted good, ha! Yes, it did, although I did try to eat it sparingly since I’m “supposed” to be going easy on the carbs! His brothers and his dad polished off the rest of it in no time. I have to smile knowing that we’ve got another cook in our kitchen.
