Usually, it is my husband who takes care of breakfast when he is at home. But since the kids are so 'horribly' hungry as they said, I moved to the kitchen -- turned on the tea machine, (the tables are already set-up the night before), spread the choiced cold cuts and cheese on a plate, boiled water for cocoa and was whipping the scrambled egg.
And then came MC - 'mama, are you doing the egg?´ she asked excitedly.
When I nodded my answer, she pushed me aside and proudly declared, 'you dont know how to cook the egg. I have often watched the 'eier mann' (egg man) in our hotel in the Philippines. I know what to do.' And pushed a chair near the stove to be able to reach everything.
So I watched. And she proceeded to slowly pour the mixture into the waiting hot pan with melted butter which I have already prepared.
She let the mixture settle down for a few seconds before using the spatula to scratch and turn; she did this until declaring that the egg is now good scrambled.
She wont let go saying she could also transfer the scrambled egg into a plate. She did, until she asked help with the last bits.
And here she is proudly showing off her scrambled egg which she and her little sister swiftly devoured; leaving mama and papa a little something, like the smell of the egg :D
MC's a big girl now no? I cant wait to experience my first breakfast in bed prepared by the girls.

How adorable! Enroll them in some sort of "Cooking lessons for children" this summer. I sense an Iron Chef in the making! :D
Oh, that is so sweet! Me makakasama ka na sa food preparatin, Keng.
Way to go, little, I mean, big girl :)
lionel - i think she's influenced by those days billeted in the hotel when we were in pinas. let's see about cooking lessons later kasi ang gusto lang nya e eggs, hahaha
julie - right, i would have someone with me in the kitchen; it would take longer but am sure it'll be good bonding time
Congratulations for a job well done MC! I am impatient to see my kids participating in the kitchen. I think Raqgold it's really important to really teach them in the kitchen ano? Kasi, I remember my parents used to call us (my Ate and I) but we were not interested :(, so ngayong nag asawa ako as in ZERO KNOWLEDGE ako. Hubby doesn't know how to cook so I was obliged to do, anong kakainin namin di ba ? I would like my family to eat healthy food. Kaya ngayon I feel the pleasure in cooking.
I'll teach my kids to learn the basic in the kitchen like you do! Thanks a lot :D !!! BRIGHT IDEA ;) !
Ang galing ni MC ha. Her scrambled eggs look so fluffy, just the way I like it! :)
Ako din, i look forward to the day my girls will bring me breakfast in bed!
BTW, you're tagged, Raq. Please check it out at my blog. :)
Wow, she's really growing up and showing independence. That's great! I can't wait until my son cooks eggs for me:)
MC did a great job making scrambled egg. A wonderful milestone. I'm sure she can't wait to cook something new next time.
Awww she is a big girl! Soon there will be breakfast in bed too. I love it when children have a passion for cooking!
haze - same here, i wasnt really interested in cooking though i do wash dishes well :D so when i came here, it was my hubby who cooked for us. it was only when i got pregnant and craved pinoy food that i struggled to learn how to cook. i hope my kids would keep the interest in the kitchen, too.
chats - she loves her eggs fluffy, too. thanks for the tag, will check it out later.
joanne - i guess when they do have an interest, it is simply a matter of letting them do it.
rach - she was so proud of her accomplishment she ate most of the eggs, hehe
mommasworld - i cant wait for that breakfast in bed, too. and i hope she'll keep that passion for cooking burning.
