cooking is not women's work!

24 Kislef
The children are so excited! They are having a party tomorrow with special food. I can't wait to see what Galit's cooked up, he's quite a talented baker. I don't know where he gets the time but Azuvah says he's always cooking for the family, too. His father says it's women's work but Galit was obviously listening in school. He informed his Dad one mealtime that the Priests and Levites bake bread and cook meat and lots of men in the Scriptures cooked too! Apparently he had no answer for that. Anyway, he likes the money he brings in.
Then, of course, there's Rivkah and Miri's contribution. Yemimah promises me that its potential to be a burnt offering is now past. The girls prepare the patties and she deals with the hot oil. Rivkah pouted and sulked a little when told her she could not start work on the vegetables today. She will just have to learn to be patient!
