Sprat made some home fry potatoes today for lunch. This goes along with his learning to cook before he goes back to school in the Fall. He used his daddy's potatoes out of the garden to make his potatoes this morning and they were really good. Big T even ate some and liked them and he never eats them when the hubbs makes them. I love that Sprat is wanting to learn to cook, he is so excited about it and has a real knack for it too. I hope I can teach him some of my favorite recipes to take back to Boston with him.
Sprat's girlfriend came for a visit, I must admit, I was not ready for this. I am not ready for a serious girlfriend, I do not think he has ever been serious about a girl before. He dated but, he never called one his "girlfriend" before. This young lady is from Massachusetts and this was her visit to the South. Sprat took her on the sweet tea tour of North Carolina. He took her to all of his local watering holes and hangouts. He introduced her to all of his friends. She loves sweet tea and has called and asked for a recipe, I do believe she is hooked.
Sprat is getting excited about going to this new school in August, he is a little nervous but very excited. He has his new schedule and we will go in July for orientation.
I remember learning to cook when I was Sprat's age, I had helped my mom in the kitchen but I had never cooked a whole meal by myself. I remember trying Swedish meatballs and I did not eat meat at that time, they were terrible. I cannot remember if anyone in my family ate them, I think they did but I am not sure. I do not remember the first thing I made successfully but, I do remember there were many things I made unsuccessful. I remember a lot of frozen burritos and french fries in college. I was no cook in college, I fancy myself to be a very good cook now. I hope I can help my son do better than I did in college with the cooking. In the new school he will have access to a kitchen, so he will be able to cook if he likes.
