He Works Hard for the Money #2

For the last few months Adin (age 11) has taken over as the Thursday night challah maker (Gavriel was the challah maker before that - I gave up making the challah about 5 years ago after going gluten free - it just wasn't much fun to make bread that I wasn't going to eat.)

It isn't exactly the traditional challah - it's a sour dough spelt/rye bread - made from a starter given to us a few years ago by a friend. Being gluten free, I've never actually tasted the bread -but it often gets rave reviews from our guests.

This week Adin was asked by a friend of ours if he could buy 2 loaves from him.
He was very excited and came up with a price of $7 a loaf. The overhead is a little over $2 - so he will pay us back for the raw ingredients and keep the $10 profit. In past weeks, we usually did most of the clean up for him - but since he is going to keep all the profit I let him know that he needed to do all of his own dishes.

I'm excited for him to get the business experience, make a lot more money then he gets in allowance, (we only give the kids half their age each week - so presently he gets $5.50 a week - when we remember to give it him) and again, feel proud and capable.

I only have this one sub-par picture of him - with the scale and loaves of bread. Yeah, Adin!
