"Hey, where's my paring knife, Mommy?"



Does your 4-year-old say that, too? Maybe I give Kirby too much of a free range in the kitchen. Yes, he has what he calls his "own" paring knife, and he uses it pretty deftly. He is currently working on The Apples.



So if you have one or more of these...



And lots of these...



You may need one of these!





And possibly one of these.
We are having a lot of fun at our house with Grandma Richins' apple-peeler-corer-slicer. Kirby asked if we could "borrow it forever." He said we would give the "dehydracker" (dehydrator) back to her "in the summer." Dried apples make a great snack. And making them provides hours of entertainment for Kirby and Sam. I've been having a hard time letting go of summer, but I guess I like fall after all.

While I've been typing this, Sam came in for a free tasting and Kirby set up operations at the bench. "This is easier for me," he explained. "It's soup-der easy!" ("Soup-der" for "super" is one of Kirby's favorite expressions. He likes to ride his bike soup-der fast, and get pushed in the swing soup-der high.) It's been a Soup-der Sunday!
