One of Lincoln's birthday presents -- his fave, I'm certain -- was a 5-Ingredient Cookbook from his mother. The idea is he'll cook one meal a week for the family these remaining weeks of summer and develop a little confidence in the kitchen for that future day when he has no dining hall. His first effort -- baked buffalo chicken -- tasted pretty good, despite his misreading of the recipe amounts. Our cutlets were coated with bread crumbs mixed with 3 teaspoons of tarragon, not 3/4 tsp and 2 tsp of black pepper rather than 1/2 tsp. They still tasted fine and we were all very appreciative of his efforts. He did quickly learn the best part about cooking -- you can use whatever pots, pans, bowls, utensils you like, because in Carey's kitchen the cook doesn't clean up!
