Chef Garrett

It's no secret, Garrett loves to cook! He has been my "soux-chef" from the age of four until now...
After spending a week with his grandpa and grandma, he came home excited and raving about a dish that his grandma had made for grandpa's birthday. He was rapidly telling me about all the ingredients of the dish. He wanted me to make this dish for dinner one night. Well... he got the opportunity to make it all by himself. A migraine invaded my head the other day, and Garrett became chef for the night. He made the dish from memory...no help from mom at all. He decided to experiment a little with the seasonings; however, the dish tasted good, and it was edible. He did a super job! We talked a little about season combinations and other dishes that he could make in a similar fashion. I for one am excited because there is now another person who can make a few meals around here. He is ready and set to take on the challenge...

Dinner is served...
Will he be the next Food Network Star? ... Honestly, I can see this child doing whatever he sets his mind too.
