The Boy Cooks Nando’s Dinner

The Boy has gotten really interested in cooking in the last few weeks, so today we decided to let him loose on (helping to) cook Nando’s style chicken chips and rice. We are all Nando’s fans and it was a lovely dinner and didn’t look bad either.

Of course after dinner I’ve still got the cleaning up to do, but I’m really glad he’s started taking an interest in cooking again. It’s so Important.
