    cooking, kids
    For most of the past week Lily has been trying to persuade us to have a cooking competition. Her initial idea involved kids cooking unassisted, but after talking through ways I saw this going poorly she decided she was ok with teams. This morning she said it was time, and declared it would be Lily + Jeff vs Anna + Julia.

    Since we only have one non-vegan oven we weren't going to have things ready at the same time, and Julia wanted to eat hers for breakfast anyway; we decided she'd have the oven first. She was enough faster that she was done with the oven before Anna and I were even close to ready to put ours in.

    Julia made chocolate popovers:

    Lily and I made a sponge cake with chocolate buttercream frosting:

    The cake was a clear judge's favorite:

    Lily: does it win?

    Anna: yes!
