OUR GRANDDAUGHTER BRITTANY, THE CHEF

 This past weekend we went to Kansas City to join Roger & his family and then travel on to St. Louis to watch Brittany show off her skills as a chef. She was with a team of 3 other students from her school that were in a cooking competition.

It was fun watching all that they had to do - starting off with cutting skills, that being cutting up two chickens - they did a super job. Then they prepared an appetizer, a main dish with meat and vegetable, and a delicious looking dessert. The team worked so well together and I know their teacher, Miss Rogers, was very proud of them.

We enjoyed seeing the team in action and are especially proud of Brittany.

Keep up the good work Brittany!
