Can I Adopt Him??
Alan has a new friend. His name is Dale, and he recently moved here from Nova Scotia (I could sit and listen to his accent for hours). He was over yesterday after school because he and Alan are partners in a socials project. I arrived home from work and there was Dale in my kitchen, making chocolate chip cookies! And without a recipe to boot - he's made them so often he has it memorized. I can't even do that, and I've been making chocolate chip cookies for years!
This boy can talk with obvious knowledge and reverence about marinating sauces, crockpots, FoodSafe courses and cuts of meat. I want to adopt him!
I knew a fellow at Ryerson who regularly ate frozen peas, partly because he knew it would get a reaction from people but also because that was about the extent of his cooking skills. Alan reminds me very much of him in that regard. Maybe some of Dale's enthusiasm and knowledge will rub off on my son (one can only hope!).
