 I thought you might enjoy this pic.  Yan was playing around in the kitchen at a very early age. I dug this out of my image collection, but it was a screen grab from a show he did on KQED in San Francisco in, I believe, 1983-84.

There's a photo of me at about the same age in my grandmother's white-enameled "potato pot." Years later that pot came to me, and we took a photo one day of my son in the same pot at the same age. At first glance (until the details of the clothing register) you'd think the new photo was a colorized version of the old one. Hypothetically I have them both in a box somewhere, though I haven't seen them since my divorce 17 years ago.

I found this video to be fun and instructional, and maybe you'll enjoy it as well. 

 

 

 

I was actually thinking of starting a topic on how to break down a chicken because I do it quite differently from what's described in Ad Hoc at Home. I remember seeing an Italian cooking show where a housewife did it entirely with kitchen shears. I'm sure everyone has their own preferred method.

It's almost never bad to feed someone.

@haresfur That's a great idea ... there are numerous videos showing a variety of styles and techniques to break down and debone a bird. Since you posted the idea, why don't you start the topic. I can add a few videos to get things rolling.
