I am so thankful that our kids are big enough now to help out with so many chores and they can even make their own lunches. Though I'm still working on the "clean up after yourselves" responsibility with them.
Nandry and
Boaz are making PB & J and sliced apples. This kind of meal is actually one of the more expensive that we eat, because it is definitely not native to Africa! The little 16oz jar of peanut butter, which is a sorry substitute for Jiff or Peter Pan, costs about $3.25 and the jelly is about the same (though it tastes pretty good and you can get "gooseberry" flavored jelly). Apples are imported from France and small apples cost about 50 cents a piece.
Asher's contribution in the kitchen is making a cookbook of all his favorite creations. If you click this picture I think it will bring it up larger and you might be able to see his directions better. While he was experimenting the other day putting things in his cup, he exclaimed, "YUM, I need to write this one down." So, voila, Asher's recipe: Squeeze one grapefruit (or
fruitgrape) into your cup, slice one banana and add it to the cup, crumble up a cookie and add it, then stir for an hour like he did (it's amazing how 30 seconds can seem like an hour when you are stirring!).

Your nails are beautiful, Nandry! What a good helper you are, Boaz. And Asher,how smart to come up with your own recipes!
Love you bunches....VA Grandma
You have some great helpers! Love Asher's instructions. I'll have to try that.
I'd go broke in Africa as all my kiddo's eat is PB&J.
That's so funny - sometimes 30 seconds feels like an hour to me too. i look forward to the day when my kids can make their own lunches...right now I'm excited they can, on occasion, pour their own cereal!!!
