We’ve started cooking at home more often.  It’s a nice way to save money, try out new cooking skills, and spend time together as a family…and Hank loves to spend time with us when we are cooking.  When I start pulling stuff out of the fridge, it isn’t long before he comes around the corner.  He wants to check out the food, ideally taking it with him, but after a few pushes aside he’ll settle for watching.  That’s when the magic happens.  That’s when you have a kitchen buddy.
