Playing with knives!

The kids took a cooking class at the YMCA where they learned how to make pizza.  They were also going to make applesauce but ran out of time so I made it at home and destroyed it.  I should probably sign myself up for some classes.
The guy who ran it was fantastic and it was a really fun thing to do!  I'll definitely sign them up for more.
They made sauce and dough from scratch.  He let them stir the tomatoes on the pot on the stove (something I'd never let them do), help put the pizza in the oven (again I try to keep them away from there too).  They even got to practice sharpening knives and he showed us how a really sharp knife can cut through a piece of paper like scissors.  I tried our knives at home and the paper ripped so we need to sharpen ours.  Even Nolan got to sharpen a knife but I didn't want to take a picture and risk him losing a finger.

Sadly when the pizza was done neither of the kids really liked it.  But Keaton LOVED the cooked basil leaves so we will add that to our pizza's from now on.
