Last week the two members of the family who do the least cooking actually got their hands dirty!! Abigail is always interested in everything that's going on and loves to 'help' with anything and everything ... so Jenny thought she'd see how she got on in the kitchen!! Balanced precariously on some steps, she had so much fun helping make the pizza base for our dinner that evening ... first adding all the ingredients in the bowl, kneading it (or prodding and poking it would be a better description) and then helping roll it out!!
After a little bit of rolling she got bored ... and started picking lumps out of the middle of the pizza base and handing them over ... needless to say it wasn't a very uniformed shape pizza that night ... but still tasted yummy!
Mark's 'cooking' was a little bit different ... as he wasn't cooking anything you'd want to feast on!! Working on a Mooney M20J, he was checking the bearings and brake discs on the wheels.
In order to put a bearing into a wheel half, the wheel half needs to be heated up ('cooked') and the bearing needs to be chilled in ice ... this is so that when they're put together and are returned to room temperature, they expand/contract and are secured tightly. Both halves of the wheel are then bolted together.
Below you can see Mark putting the wheel back on the aircraft ... all 'cooked' and ready to go!
With regards to what 'will be' cooking in the coming months ... Jenny planted our veggie seeds this weekend ... we now watch and wait to see if anything will come of them!!
Great photos and story! You guys do a great job with your blog.
