July 22, 2003: Kids meeting in summer vacation
Three high school female students will teach the kids how to cook.
Self-introduction
In Jiyuu Gakuen, students enter the dormitory from the first grade of junior high school. They prepare food for many people daily. Now, let's make dishes today.
Kids make self-introduction vividly.
After that, they read the writing of Motoko Hani, from "Kids Reading" titled as "Your efforts will be rewarded." The book says that if one makes effort, then he or she will be able to get invisible power from God. Some kids promised to make their room clean.
Well, mothers study on the second floor while kids are learning cooking. Cooking instructions on large paper is very easy to understand.
Today's menu is hamburger, vegetable soup, and salad. As kids must cutting many materials, please watch your hands so as not to injure them.
On the table are cooking materials.
Wash your hands first using soap and then wear aprons and caps.
One female student will take care of one cooking table. Adult members will support each table.
What should we do first? Yes, to prepare salad materials.
Cut vegetables for salad and cool them down. Dressing will also be quickly prepared.
Vegetable soup making. Peel off the skin of onions and potatoes.
Chopping the onion for hamburger is another experience.
On the second floor, mothers discuss enthusiastically. Some mothers sent kids to the elementary schools and look for how to manage summer vacation time schedule. Experienced mothers give advice and consult with younger mothers. They need much more time to discuss.
Dishes are ready for serve. Good looking hamburger came out of the oven ant they are assorted with fresh salad.
Mothers and kids sit around the table for lunch.
After the lunch, kids described their impressions, saying it was interesting, or dishes were tasty. Some students were surprised to see that kids were using cooking knives more skillfully than expected. Some kids were hard to make them work.
After the lunch, all people cleaned the house up.
Good-bye meeting. Please try to make today's dish in your home. We have had a good day today and thank you very much young students who helped cooking.
