Hands in the Kitchen

There is something very good about these pictures . . . very good indeed.

Male hands working in the kitchen.  Mmmm-mmmm.  I do love to see that.  Or I guess I should say male hands that know what to do in the kitchen!!  There are several pairs of male hands around this house that don't need to be in the kitchen!!  They do many other things and do them well, but they don't need to be in the kitchen.

Okay . . . where was I?

Oh, yes, very good pictures, indeed.

Middle Son had a project:  Research the origins of a recipe from a Spanish country, make that recipe, and present in class.

He picked salsa, and not just any salsa but Pioneer Woman's Restaurant Style Salsa.  We're kind of picky about our salsa around here.  Most especially, we're not all about a lot of chunks.  And in Pioneer Woman's Restaurant Style Salsa, the blender takes care of all those disturbing chunks and makes it smooth as can be.  And we are very happy.

These male hands chopped onion, pressed garlic, and sliced jalapenos.  I sat and watched and felt joyful.

And then, when the salsa was made, I tasted and re-tasted and sneaked more when Middle Son wasn't looking.

Because it was really, really, really good!!  Yummmmmmmmmmm!
