Family Bonding: Making Memories in the Kitchen
Family bonding can take place anywhere, but when it takes place in the kitchen, something magical happens. Besides rearranging furniture, some of my son Jackson’s other favorite “toys” are the rice maker, a four-cup coffeemaker (without the glass pot), the salad spinner, and of course the universal childhood favorite, pots and pans.
