Skousons' Summer Skitchen

The cooks.

My kids need a summer project.  At least I think they need a summer project.  For the last four or five years I have had each kid make or help with a meal once a week during the summer.  This year we are going to document these meals.  Yes!! You can all be inspired by us!!!   If, in the past, you have enjoyed cooking blogs, prepare to be disappointed.  You will probably learn nothing from this blog.  The pictures will not be of beautifully styled food in Pottery Barn dishes sitting on granite countertops.  Ok, so you will not be inspired.   No, this will be food made by my 12, 10, 7 and 3 year old  (we are not letting the 1 year old participate much)  in my 1942 Iowa farmhouse.  All right,  it's not a farmhouse--it was built by a lawyer, but if we pretend it's a farmhouse it seems more romantic. In a kitchen that badly needs remodeling--as soon as we finish all the exterior painting from last summer's hail storm, hang the towel rack in the upstairs bathroom and paint the whole downstairs.  So, in the meantime you will not see the Ideal Skousons.  You will see the Real Skousons.  And see what we really have for dinner.  This is a little scary already.
