Fancy lunch

Typically, our lunch consists of whatever we can find in the fridge, ie fruit, cheese, vegetables, maybe some left over from the night before. However, this week Lukas had found a recipe in a magazine that he wanted to try and he was not willing to wait for dinner to roll around. This trait to cut out recipes and try them is one he comes by earnestly, it runs in the genes of both families - he cannot help himself but to cut out things that sounds yummy.
He set out to mix up the turkey meat with various spices and home made teryaki sauce and after a failed attempt at grilling these moist patties on our troubled grill, he settled for a hand me down George Foreman instead. In a few moments he had delicious, moist and perfectly cooked patties complete with grill marks, and along with pine apple slices and heated whole wheat buns. He and Noah enjoyed their lunch and my hope for left overs were quickly dashed - this was too good to save for another meal. Fortunately, they were not very hungry when it was time for dinner, so I squeezed by serving our traditional lunch for dinner, so all in all status quo for the day.

Turkey meat just does not look as good as it tastes...

It is fun to see the boys taking to cooking, now if I could only get Lukas to realize that there is usually a reason for the directions, ingredients and proportions.... and in order to improve it is best to start with the original idea and then enhance..
