Let me count the ways in which I have failed you as a blogger this week. One, I forgot that yesterday, not today, was Sunday, so I didn’t post. Two, my mother borrowed my camera and I thought I would have it back early enough to take some pictures for a post, but I did not.
I took some pictures with my phone, but they are not blog worthy.
So, I dug way back into my photos and realized that I never told you about my birthday presents, back in April.
In addition to getting the new Nintendo DSi XL on the day it came out, I also got a new Emeril griddle and the America’s Test Kitchen “Let’s Get Cooking” DS game.
The game is really cool. It gives you step-by-step instruction, has technique tutorials, ingredient lists, and allows you to plan future meals and have multiple chefs divide the duties.
Best of all, my 11-year-old son used it to make us a dinner of Sloppy Joes – all by himself!
And, it has the best – no, seriously, the best – pancake recipe. Ever. Perfect for my new griddle.
I’ve never been much of a “gamer” but I would totally be into this. I love the fact that your son used it to make the family dinner. That’s really sweet!
