Cooking


Cooking Poem

When you're cooking in the kitchen,
You're learning all the while --
To pour and measure, mix and stir
And sift flour into a pile.
Scrub your hands before you start
Then gather up the gear --
Like pots'n pans and measuring cups
That you use throughout the year.
Go over the recipe, step-by-step,
So you'll know just what to do.
By carefully following the directions,
It won't be hard for you.
Have a hot pad handy
And an adult standing by --
So you won't hurt yourself
When using the stove or baking a pie.
Besides the fun and learning,
There's always cleaning up to do,
And even though it's quite a chore,
It's part of cooking too.
But after all the work is done,
It will soon be time for dinner.
And when someone asks for seconds,
You'll know you've cooked a winner!



We're Going To Make a Cake

We're going to make a cake, we're going to make a cake;
We're going to make it really big,
Because we all like cake.

Flour in the bowl, flour in the bowl;
Stir it with a great big spoon,
Flour in the bowl.

continue with other ingredients: sugar, salt,
raisins, butter, etc.

Put it in the oven, put it in the oven;
Take care not to slam the door,
Until it's nicely cooked.

Icing on the top, icing on the top;
Spread it with a big, flat knive,
Icing on the top.

We all have a piece, we all have a piece;
Some for you and some for me,
There's some for everyone.

And now it's all gone, and now it's all gone;
Yumm it was very good,
Now it's all gone.



I Like to Eat!

I like hotdogs
I like beans,
I like eating in my jeans.
I like french fries
I like ham
I like eating in my jams.
I like cookies
I like pie
I like eating in my tie.
I like bagels
I like lox
I like eating in my socks.
I like pancakes
I like molasses
I like eating in my glasses.
I like veggies
I like fruit
I like eating in my boots.
