I love that my kids all cook, and so I covertly photographed my teenage son, Isaac, making his own breakfast: with mushrooms cooked in carménère, fresh garlic and butter and topped with sliced Anaheim pepper and lettuce. The best part was watching him pull out a porcelain plate and arrange the sandwich before setting it on the table to eat.
