Mason's Dinner Project

To earn a feather for his Y-Guides' vest, Mason, aka Growling Wolf, had to plan, prepare, serve, and clean up after a meal for the most important woman in his life (that would be me). His assistant Snoring Wolf and he chose this Sunday to complete this mission.

When asked what I might like for dinner, Mason decided that pork chops, broccoli, and bread would be good. Mark helped him pick a recipe with apples and onions and added rice and brownies to the menu. We all went shopping on Sunday morning to procure the necessary ingredients.

Baking challah takes a lot of time, so they had to start first thing in the morning. Then they had a break until later in the afternoon, when it was time to make the brownies and knead and shape the dough. But the real action started later -- cooking pork chops and rice on the stove. Max and I watched a movie during much of this exercise.

Dinner was delicious, and Mason did a great job. Mark did an even better job remaining patient, explaining everything, and giving Mason appropriate tasks. I think they may have even had fun.
