Chef in making - Part 2

I am sure you remember the Chef in making post. He reassures that he will not let me down and will become the chef (Master of cooking as Chubbocks said!!) some day.

2-3 days back in the evening, when my cook came, Aryan was playing with the pressure cookers and Kadai in the living room (Control ..there is more to laugh!!!) and so I asked him to give those to Uncle (cook) to make the food.

He obeyed me as the most obedient child in the world and went and gave all the vessels to the guy, one after the other.

But this is just half the story... He is obeying me every day since that day...To the extent that he picks and give everything needed for cooking to the cook. What if he needs one cooker and one pan ...we have 2 cookers and 2 pans...Why not use all??

The poor guy has to tell him, I need only one beta, but would our little chef listen. He will again attempt to give him another cooker, till Mumma drags him out of the kitchen.

NOW, On second thoughts I am planning to make pay cut for the cook to 75 %, since we already have a assistant to him...what do you think :-)

Chef in Making!

The other day I was making some vegetable and Aryan comes to me and asks me to pick him up. He watches me add chilli power , Coriander powder and Turmeric. But , no salt. He suddenly points at the salt container and tells me that I missed salt. I told him that I have added salt just before he came. And he was pacified. So does this means he knows that whatever salt is an essential ?
Day before yesterday , it was a similar situation when I was making tea. And this time , he tells me to add sugar.
I was too amazed to say a word !

A Brutal Murder

The Picture above is of the dead body. The body was found in the living room of Aryan's household on 23rd Feb, 2008. The weapon used for the murder was index finger. The murderer is still moving around free. Thus editor of "Times of Aryan" advices all the ladies to keep their vegetables behind a lock.

Sweet little things

>>When I rush around the house barefoot , Aryan comes running with both my slippers, one in each hand :-) I just get so awed.

>>When the cook leaves the house after he finishes cooking. Aryan comes running , asks me to take him in my lap. Points out at each vessel one by one , from cooker , to pan, to casserole.I am supposed to open the pointed vessel and show him what has been cooked. After seeing the chapatis at the last , I am given a nice toothy smile , as if saying .."ok , inspection complete , food looks good." Thats a different story that he has stopped having any vegetables at dinner time.

>>When he gets a empty washed cooker , he carries it out of the kitchen. Sit in the living room and tries to close it.When the lid goes inside , its such a success smile. He is still struggling to learn to get it out of the cooker though.

>>When he is in my lap while I cook and I place a vessel on gas. He bents down to check if the fire is on or not. If not , I am adviced to lit the fire.

>>When he wants to sit on the swing and Anupam is ready to do the honours , he just refuses. Mumma has to put him to swing and help him in swinging and Mumma gets flying kisses in return.

>>When he wants to do potty , he goes and drags his potty seat to me, what more can I ask for :-) He also manages to move the seat to desired positions , while he is sitting.

>>When he sees his father , getting closer to his mother , he immediately rushes to ascertain his ownership. When on bed , he rolls over in between to ensure enough distance is maintained :D

>>When I am feeding him , I make him sit on high chair and give him some food in a separate bowl , with a spoon. He manages to eat 1-2 bites himself while I continue to feed simultaneously. So at times ,when I am busy feeding him , he feeds me simultaneously with his spoon. I feel so loved :-)

>>When he sees a spoon he just wants to hold it. He wishes to use a spoon for everything, be it bread or chapati. Yesterday I was fed with a full bowl of curd by him :-) Don't ask me how much was on floor though :D

Aryan Cooks Stuffed Tomatoes

One day I ordered some tomatoes from neighborhood shop and as the guy delivered , I emptied the bag of tomatoes in a kadai for time being , before putting them to fridge. And it was whole lot of fun for Aryan. We soon had tomatoes all over the drawing room and he dragged the kadai in entire house.

What's Cooking ?

This is what Aryan does on a Sunday evening , when Mumma cooks.
