Conversation With a 7-Year-Old: Recipe Edition

Me: A, we need to make soup out of the leftover turkey. Could you help me with that?

A: Okay. What do you need me to do?

Me: Well, there are lots of different kinds of soup that we could make. You could help me figure out the kind of soup.

A: Well, there is one ingredient I really want to use.

Me: What's that?

A: I'll show you.

[runs to the kitchen, comes racing back with a spice jar]

A: This!

Me: Mexican chili powder?

A: Yes.

Me: You sure? Here, smell it.

A: [smells] Aaaaaaahhhh. That's what I want.

Me: Okay, so turkey chili?

A: Yep.

Me: With tomatoes and peppers and black beans?

A: Yep.

Me: And cilantro?

A: Okay.

Me: And spinach?

A: Sure!

And that's what we made.
