Brooke insisted on making dessert tonight. A super-secret dessert in which she screamed and yelled if anyone approached within 10 feet of the kitchen. It involved the hand mixer and the freezer ... plus lots of sugar, heavy cream & Oreos. She beautifully presented them to us, with an unveiling as she pulled off metal bowl “lids” to show us her work.
Ryan, who hates all pastries, LOVED it. He asked her to make it again. Luke sat down and gave it his full attention (something he rarely does) and also praised his sister.
She worked hard to make this a special dessert, and she got some legitimate respect and thanks from her brothers ... I think she was pretty pleased!
