In the kitchen

Kayleigh didn't really get into cooking but she sure liked to 'help' cook. Whenever I would bake a cake, she was there helping break the eggs or measure out the milk and stir the batter - but it was in her plan so she could lick the bowl. When I started making lemon cheesecakes, Kayleigh was there helping so she could run of with the not quite empty sweetened condensed milk can. Kayleigh did attempt to make a cheesecake herself once but she just didn't have the patience to mix the Philadelphia cheese until it was nice and smooth, so she ended up with a nice tasting cheesecake, but with lumps of philly cheese in it.

When it came to the actual cooking, Kayleigh was happy to stir something every now and again, but she hated standing at the stove for long periods, so she would either delegate the job to her sister, or walk off. One time I asked her to cook the sausages on the BBQ but since there was a program on TV she really wanted to watch she did a very quick job and the sausages were still raw when she brought them in. I was not impressed.

Kayleigh did like to help with the pork roast as I have mentioned before, but her love of cooking went as far as licking the bowl, 'taste-testing' the food as it cooked and eating the results. She could never have cooked a whole meal by herself because she was too interested in doing other things.
