Becca's Cooking

It just goes to show...

I realize that in an earlier post I noted the skill with which Becca is able to crack an egg. Well, this morning, we made eggs for breakfast, and Becca asked to help. Mornings being busy times in our house even though it is summer, Becca was not being as closely supervised as she should have been, I suppose. I allowed her to crack all five eggs needed for the breakfast and scramble them while I busied myself packing lunch for my husband and getting the pan ready for the eggs. I didn't notice the presence of the bits of eggshell that my husband found when he started eating the meal. What I saw when I got the bowl to pour onto the pan was well-scrambled eggs. Husband ended up with a different breakfast, and the eggs ended up in the disposal! A lesson well-learned for several of us... I need to watch Becca more while she is doing the prep work for the meal (her favorite part since she is not allowed to use the stove by herself yet), Becca needs to use better technique when breaking the eggs and make sure the shells end up outside the bowl, and my husband may need to spend more time teaching her that technique.
Live and learn! (I wonder if anyone will ever invent something that removes the shells for us?)
