Cultural Themes

An educational and fun theme that's also kid-friendly is designating a cultural theme in a specific room or wall. When my friend bought a three-bedroom house, he selected an African, Hispanic, and Asian theme for every room. You can even create a menu based on a cultural theme. Maybe invite friends over once a month, and everyone brings a dish from the selected region. You can do this once a month or once a week according to your preference.

Peeling a Ginger

I was shocked to hear and see a spoon being used to peel the skin of ginger. The first time I tried it, it was a miserable failure. But the second time, I was able to use it with ease. Try it. If it works well for you, your knives won't dull. And if you're lazy like me, you won't waste as much ginger by cutting chunks off along with the skin. Use it as though you're scooping the ginger out and bring the spoon towards you. It's surprisingly effortless. Plus, it's a great and safe way to involve children in the kitchen without any risks.
