Bolognese with the big girl

Christmas break has come to an end for Abigail...EG, however, doesn't go back to school until next week. So when it was time to get the bolognese sauce together for tonight's dinner EG was ALL OVER IT! Brian and I love to cook with the girls...it can make things take a bit longer and can sometimes be unnerving to sit by while they chop with big knives but it is sooooo worth it!

She chopped


And chopped


Took a break to "sample" her work


And chopped some more


Whew!


With everything chopped we were ready to saute


Getting it all in there...


Beautiful :)


A little tomato paste


mmmmmm


Milk, white wine, and water


We added some rib roast cubes that we had in the freezer from Christmas dinner and with everything in the pot, simmering beautifully, EG was off to play for the day...


Hours later....

Back in the kitchen to put on the finishing touches. EG adds the pasta to the boiling water.


We prepared one of our favorite salads. Roma tomatoes, sweet onion, iceberg lettuce, and bleu cheese dressing.


Magnificent!


It really was...


We sat down to a wonderful meal


That made Abigail a bit nutty


Was it good EG?
