Anyway that is the sad part of this post. The Pampered Chef has worked hard for the last 36-37 years to build individuals to the best of their God given talents and to build healthy families. We are committee to teaching adults and children the power of the family table and to teach the art of giving back. Laura Austin - The Pampered Chef
I have wonderful memories of being in the kitchen. That's usually where we would eat breakfast, lunch or have a snack, but at dinner time it was into the dining room. Placemats, coasters, real plates, and real flatware. It was very important to my family to eat this meal at the dining room table. But I don't ever remember my Grandma or my Mom teaching me to cook. I don't ever remember helping to measure out the ingredients for anything. I remember though, one day in particular. I came home from school and I had my afternoon snack with my Grandma, we lived with Grandma, and Grandma was chasing me around the kitchen table and I would make her laugh by blowing up my cheeks and crossing my eyes. She laughed so hard at me. LOL. That is one of my most cherished kitchen memories. My Mom and Grandma took care of me very well, but I still don't remember ever being taught HOW to cook. I took a home economics class in high school, catering, and I loved it. It was there that I learned a lot about cooking.
With all of the violence in the world, case in point the recent bombing in the UK, the constant shootings we have in our area here, where is the love, where has all of this hate and discontent come from. As a society, have we lost so much that we can't get it back. We have lost an entire generation to this discontent. We, adults, have lost sight at how important our children are for our future. We are more focused on making the needed money to just survive in the country. All of our utilities are so high we can afford to pay them but we can't afford to have them turned off because our children will freeze in the winter and roast in the summer, since global warming has gotten so bad. We cannot live without water, and you can't really cook very well without it either. We have to have transportation to get to and from work and because the boss wants us to be in at 6 or 7 am we have to give over our children to a childcare provider. And God help that childcare provider if there is an issue and they try to correct it then and there. The parents go off! I have always said that it take a tribe to raise children. Each individual has something to teach. What a parent see as the child not being rude, may be rude to someone else. We have to teach our children how to talk to others with respect and we have to teach them that they really do need to care about the other persons feelings. I know raising children is the hardest job in the world, I have been working on three of my own. It's not easy and not for the faint of heart. There is so much we really need to fix in this world, but we need to continue to take our families back. We can't afford to continue to lose them to a faulty society.
