Daphne has been helping a lot more in the kitchen lately.  I got a plastic knife that is used for chopping lettuce and gave it to her as her knife.  She has become really interested since then in helping me do food prep.  Just tonight she spent an hour chopping turnips, carrots and lettuce for dinner.  It thrilled her to no end.

Of course, she REALLY likes to help when I bake because that means that she gets to do some spoon licking, and that is the best activity of all!

Of course, clean up is not always so easy.
