Now You're Cookin'!

Too cute! Roy helped me make dinner for his first time tonight. I was making some fried, breaded pork chops, and I started out by offering to let him stand on a chair so he could see the counter and watch. But he kept pushing the chair closer until it was right up against the counter, so finally I asked him if he wanted to help make the pork chops? He shouted "chops!" and then watched as I dredged the first one, and then helped me do the rest. He was actually a very good helper, up until the point where he decided he should start dredging other things too. Then the cooking lesson had to end.

I'll have to ask mom, but I think Roy has me beat for earliest cooking experience now. :)

Oh, and while I'm at it, he makes a pretty cute dinosaur:



And here he is, just as the sugar rush started to hit:

Twilight

So, I went to see Twilight on Sunday. I really enjoyed it :)! I thought Bella's character in the movie was much more bearable than she was in the book. In fact, at the end of the movie, I felt that this story was much better suited to film than it was to its home medium, which is rare. Usually the book is better.

My favorite part of the movie though, was not a part of the movie itself, but the atmosphere in which I watched the film. There were the group of teenager girls sitting behind me, who would clap and hoot and sigh over EVERY SINGLE character as they were introduced on the big screen. With the guys, they'd say things like "OhmiGOD...he's sooo cute...I love him [giggle noise]." With the female characters, they say things like "ooohh...she's so pretty...I want to be her..."

The one scene where I expected to hear an "ohmigod" was the steamy kiss between Bella and Edward. The girly teenagers however, remained [uncomfortably(?)] silent throughout. Were they paying homage to the romance brewing between the two main characters? Or were they struggling with their teenager hormones, unsure of how to handle themselves? I guess I'll never know. But, I suspect it was the latter ;).

Go see Twilight! It was entertaining to say the least :)!
