A Helping Hand

Help in the kitchen is a great thing, wouldn't you agree? Sharing the act of cooking builds relationships and collaboration. Recently, I enlisted my husband's help to make an easy meal ...tacos. Nothing fancy other than perhaps a few interesting toppings. As far as food is concerned, my husband's core competency is tasting it, so I gave him some simple tasks: set the table, dice up some avocado, and toast the shells. Little did I know this seemingly uncomplicated task would take a turn for the worse as the shells went on fire, setting our toaster oven into a raging blaze. Fortunately, we had an emergency fire extinguisher under the sink that saved more than just our dinner. Next time, I think he can just do the clean up.
