Cooking Lessons

Chrissy, my niece, came for a lunch of dim sum and then got some cooking lessons as I started preparing some of the components of supper for Josi and family who are coming here tonight.  I showed her how to make caprese salad, using authentic Italian ingredients, panko-breaded chicken fingers and pieces, and a special cheddar cheese/hash browns casserole I make, appropriately spiced.  After that, she left to do her stint in the gym (she's getting back into the rowing club) while I took Holly for a walk in Fraser's Meadow (I should have worn rubber boots; the path is awash with water).
