He was great at counting the cups of flour. I think there are 10 cups in all, at various times in the process. He also enjoyed throwing in the raisins - because it just wouldn't be Swedish Raisin Rye without the raisins!
He helped knead the bread, and punch it down in the bowl. He even got to make his own little loaf when it came time to put it in the pans.
We didn't have time for playing duets - Maddox thought bowling was a much better idea. He also discovered my mom's old L.C. Smith typewriter, and the magnetic dartboard, and the 100 year old carrom board, and ...
We had to run over to Target to pick up some batteries, and Maddox discovered the $1.00 shelves with baskets of fruit, veggies, and meat. So ... we played chef for a while. I think we went through parts of 4 or 5 DVD's. He seems to have a little trouble staying focused for the whole movie.
Finally, the bread was done, and we had a taste test. Turns out, Maddox hasn't developed a taste for Grandma's bread yet. Is there anything else in Grandma's cookbook I might like?
We had a fun day - and we saved a loaf for Thanksgiving. It's a good thing, because MY loaf is all gone.
