The salad spinner is the one food prep activity guaranteed to get this one into the kitchen.
It gets his engineer/inventor parts "spinning".
Roasted, resting eggplant. "Looks like a big poo" said salad spinning boy.
Peaches ripening. We've got 8lbs. of these beauties.
Common meal tonight: eggplant (I've got two Japanese eggplants, too)/pepper/onion/soy sauté, green salad, corn bread, balsamic chicken or chicken fingers or chicken salad (Cap's choice), chocolate chip cookies and melon. All produce from the farm. Warm and fuzzy cuisine.

I love how naturally the boys are interested in making food...as they see you and Cap do it, it becomes interesting, engaging, theoretical ("Hmm, how does this salad spinner work?") and then experimented with...I doubt that your boys will ever grow up to be "I hate to cook" kind of guys...making food, for them, is a lived experience.
I grew up with a mother, at home, who had to cook, who didn't like to eat or even cook, and it was a chore for her. She was always 'stuck in the kitchen'. I vowed never to be like that, and I wasn't. But now I am seeing cooking as more of an art, a craft, and I could get into that...I think!
Thank you. I think you're right that they won't grow up to be "I hate to cook" people.
