Home economics or water conserving cleaning?

Lukas and Noah baked on Saturday. We had a party to prepare for, and in their opinion making cheesecake just was not good enough. Lukas pulled out Cooks Magazine and set out to make the perfect Lemon Bundt Cake, and Noah pulled out one of his favorite books: If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. In the back is a recipe for peanut cookies, that I think Noah has memorized.
The boys measured and mixed, dolloped, and baked but I think they got the most enjoyment out of licking. Had it not been for the grease shine from the butter, I am not sure I would have noticed that they needed cleaning. A new water conservation method maybe now that water rates are going up again.
