Food for thought

When we were kids, our Dad went on a business trip to Japan . He came back with various different fun things unlike anything we had ever been gifted with before . Among the hello kitty books, kimonos and matching slippers, were little erasers in the shapes of sushi and ultra miniature cooking sets.


Remembering this made me think . . . lots of children are raised playing in miniature kitchens, where they are encouraged to "play with their food" and make plastic creations for others. As infants we are photographed with spaghetti sauce all over our smiling faces . . . later on we become conditioned to use salad forks and proper etiquette.


I am in no way suggesting we get crazy with spaghetti sauce or serve plastic foods; I am, however, feeling inspired lately to play in the kitchen. I enjoy looking back on those sweet days of childhood, when we pretended to be mothers and wives, feeding house guests and entertaining with our little sushi eraser food.

What are your earliest memories of cooking in the kitchen? Please comment below to share them with us :)
