Open face baked cheese sandwich. Lots of ways to go with it...but I usually start with bread, add a slice of cheese (cheddar, jack, etc)...then go veggies like sliced tomato, sliced mushrooms, maybe a slice of bacon and topped with a few rings of sliced onion...all things are optional, of course. Maybe ask for his input on what he would like? Sometimes I top them with sprouts of some sort, after I take them out of the oven.
Baked/broiled peach halves! Yum. A touch of brown sugar makes them extra special.
Jello can be fun. I think I posted a recipe for Deluxe Whipped Jello, sometime back? But, of course, it takes more patience.
I still remember making Cottage Cheese and Butter in 3rd grade, I think it was. Not "cooking" I guess, but fun and educational.
In the summertime, I remember the family backyard BBQ's. My cousins brought the ice cream machine and all of us kids took turns turning crank shaft (is that what it is called?)
Thanks for the chance to remember and appreciate! ;-)
