Since going to Benihanas back in January with the boys, anytime we eat Chinese food they want to use chopsticks. I wish that I knew how to make those nifty kid ones they have there. Being undeterred they pressed on in trying to use regular ones to eat their meal. I have to say I was rather impressed with Owen (here he is with his American President placemat as mentioned in my previous post "George Washington, John Adams..." . I was worried Tate was going to stab himself since he had to have his own pair, "Mommy I do it.", but he did fine too. Eyan realized that eatting with chopsticks was rather slow, so he kept with a fork. His favorite part was the fortune cookie. Their Dad would be proud of his Chinese children:-)
P.S. After this meal, I looked up how to make kid friendly chopsticks. Here is the link.
Owen looks like he's got the hang of it! So fun!
ReplyDeleteThe use of chopsticks has been a part of Chinese food culture. There are some taboos that you must pay great attention to, or you may make mistakes and be laughed at.
