When I was making yesterday's country fried steak, I called Gooseberry over and said, "hey check it out, it's just like cooking mama!" as I was dredging everything in flour, egg, and bread crumbs. She watched for a minute, and then was like, "hey, yeah! I've done this before!"
dropping cooking mama on my DSi's SD card is the second best thing I've done to it, after installing custom firmware. It shows off a ton of prep for how one makes lots of food... plus it's just extremely fun to watch her play and slowly get better
