Challah with Mom

One of my favorite pastimes is eating. Unlike some kids, I rarely have to be coaxed, cajoled, or coerced to eat.

A lesser known fact about me is that I also like to cook. My parents cook with me all the time and I rarely need instructions any more. This week my Mom made challah for Shabbat. (Yeah, she is a cool mom.) I just pulled up a chair, stood on it, made a mess and started rolling.

No instructions needed. I pretty much know how make a mess!

Ta - dah!

I love challah (which I call "challat" for some reason). Whenever I see it, I start singing "Shabbat Shalom" (which I also sing in my own special way..."Shabbat Shabbat Shabbat.. you get the idea.) I also love going to the special service for kids called Tot Shabbat so I have my little Tot Shabbat songs too.

Just don't call me "little" these days because I will be forced to contradict you as I am clearly "big" as I tell my parents day in and day out.

P.S. My mom will probably blog about her sugar-free challah soon, knowing her as I do ... for, um, my whole life.
