I have a blended family of 10, 7 of which I carried, ranging in age from 25 to 6. I live in the midwest USA near the Canadian border so we get all 4 seasons, which is nice. One of my daughters (16) is shaping up to be a good cook, too as is my 10 yr old. It's fun to see them discovering & mixing combinations. My 10 yr old is set on making Daddy (thank goodness) a pickle omelet for breakfast on his birthday. She thinks it sounds good so.... :confused:
