    plus... I'm not totally convinced she is a helper as much as we think lol.

    Yeah you can't be too careful...I know of one 5yr old boy who was trying to *help* in the kitchen around Thanksgiving some years ago...he got underfoot, someone tripped over him and a large pot of boiling oil got dumped on him. Incredible amount of 3rd degree burns. He survived and still undergoes reconstructive surgery.

    And on a lighter note, yes those veggies would taste awesome! ;-)
