One of the bitter sweet things about being a step mom who got step sons when they were a little older is how fast your kiddos become independent of you. Ever since we first started hanging out, Seth and I have had a special bond in the kitchen.Once a week (unless my mother is visiting, when she commandeers the kitchen and makes us all a little fatter...) Seth and I bake brownies together. He is an awesome chef and has a great instinct for cooking, among his many talents.
So I am a little bummed, as well as proud to note that he has begun baking solo for the last few weeks. He is testing out his Independence and doing a wonderful job. He is still asks for help with putting them in and taking out of the oven, but really he is now the man in charge of brownie night.
I guess I will just have to enjoy my brownies without having a hand in them. Maybe he will learn how to make cheesecake, mmm, cheesecake... On second thought, a girl could get used to this!!

This makes me sad. Haiden was 11 when we got married and we always baked brownies together. Now that he is 15 I'm lucky if I get a full sentence out of him. I miss our brownie days. For now just enjoy the brownies, sounds like a good deal.
This is really funny! I'm now making a list in my head of things that I would like someone else to make for me. Mmmm, yes, cheesecake, also chocolate chip cookies, also a really good sponge cake, also homemade pizza, can he do that? How about steak? Can he cook steak? If not, time to learn!
