Anytime I am cooking Gracie is usually right there with me. This day it was just Gracie and me. We were making "jelly" actually jello but all the kids refer to jello as jelly for some reason :) We put in a whole can of fruit cocktail to eat with our dinner that nite. I used to laugh when I would see these large cans of food in the store. I would say, " Who would ever buy this size can ? Maybe a church for a church dinner." This is the size cans I buy now :) For me cooking for 24 to 26- 3 times a day every day is made simplier by my cheat sheet... It lists the amounts of the ingredients we use to make the quantities we cook. I go over or the kids who are cooking can and see how and what we use to make a particular food... like this jello required 8 boxes of jello, with 6 cups of hot water , 4 cups of cold water and ice to make the cold water go to 10 cups.... after 10 minutes we add a lg. can of fruit... that makes enough "jelly" for our family for a meal .

You are such a good mama!
Gracie does look great! Your kids are using the British word for jello, we always call it jelly!
