Sous chef or Suess chef?*

Here is Sydney in her apron, which features dogs, also known as PUH-pees. The apron's purchase was twofold: 1) it's adorable, and 2) Sydney gets to wear it when she 'helps' in the kitchen. Her assistance usually amounts to unloading the spice cabinet or her cabinet, which is full of toddler-friendly gadgets. Then, she relocates their contents to various parts of the house. Brian is usually in pursuit to retrieve the items or at least identify where she stashes them.

Sometimes Sydney gets to be more hands on. One night she befriended a green onion, then would not relinquish it.


It was bath time and Sydney was forced to give up the goods. I didn't need her soaking in an onion soup. We tried the switch-and-bait to distract her, but it obviously did not work.



* Brian gets credit for the 'Seuss chef' reference :)


Another fave: The apron is from Kitchen Art, which is a delectable kitchen store in West Lafayette. I was a attending a class the night I bought the apron. The class was devoted to chocolate: 1,0001 chocolate chip cake, three-chocolate torte, peanut butter & chocolate fudge, chocolate fudge swirl cookies (my favorite) and chocolate chip cheese cake. We sampled everything and I even had leftovers to share with Brian.
