For most of the past week Lily has been trying to persuade us to have
a cooking competition. Her initial idea involved kids cooking
unassisted, but after talking through ways I saw this going poorly she
decided she was ok with teams. This morning she said it was time, and
declared it would be Lily + Jeff vs Anna + Julia.
Unfortunately, Anna was only interested in being a judge. After
extended discussion Lily determined that we would be a team and Julia
would compete as an individual. Luckily for Lily, when Julia woke up
she was up for participating.
Lily started by making a list of the allowed ingredients:
Since we only have one non-vegan oven we weren’t going to have things
ready at the same time, and Julia wanted to eat hers for breakfast
anyway; we decided she’d have the oven first. She was enough faster
that she was done with the oven before Anna and I were even close to
ready to put ours in.
Julia made chocolate popovers:
Lily and I made a sponge cake with chocolate buttercream frosting:

The cake was a clear judge’s favorite:
Lily: does it win?
Anna: yes!
