When my kids were about 12 and 7 we made taffy, old fashioned pulled
taffy. It was fun because they had never considered that candy could be
made at home.

They are both good cooks and have been at home in the kitchen just about
forever. Daughter is a more creative cook than I. She taught me to
make tamales and carnitas and fresh pasta.

Son makes a mean Thai green curry, from scratch, taught by a girlfriend
in college who had spent years in Thailand due to her father's job. His
rhubarb pie is almost as good as mine and he had a bread machine all
through college. He made bread and he and his roommates brewed beer.

Both make good rice in a saucepan. ;-)
