These days our kiddos are way into watching baking and cooking shows. Sometimes it's Chopped but more recently they've been fixated on the Holiday Baking Championship. They love watching what Christmasy creations are baked and then judged. They study the contestants, their craftsmanship and hang on the judge's every word.
Now, every night at dinner they give me a countdown from 10 and then tell me to put my hands-up after time has run out and to step away from my creation (otherwise known as dinner). Then, I'm asked to describe in detail what I have prepared. All of it is then judged by an almost 7-year-old and her five-year-old brother. The best part is that they ask me what I've prepared and what Jimmy has prepared. Since his dinner contribution is usually minimal, I win the competition and the prize almost every time. In fact, I've managed to win the same $2.58 for several nights in a row. The grand prize!
It's kind of a fun charade to go through but sometimes stressful. These kids are tough judges! I may need to up my game.
