I was going to start getting my twin boys into cooking starting last week. Had a ton of veggies I wanted to process and can, and actually could have used their help.
Well, then on of them seriously strained his wrist during peewee football so no chopping for him. With twins, you try not to exclude an activity from one or the other so basically I can't start until this weekend when his wrap is removed.
When we were kids, the summers usually meant we would be all sitting out at the picnic table this time of year snapping beans, stripping peas, and shucking corn. When I was about my twins age, we were allowed to use a small paring knife for some of the light knife work, Coring tomatoes, etc..
I am kinda looking forward to it myself.
