First Try - Practice Week

I asked Wes what he wanted to make for his first Sunday dinner, and after quite a bit of thinking he said "pasta". No surprise since that's one of the only things he actually likes to eat. So week one was spaghetti with meat sauce. Yeah, not really exciting.

Water boiled. Dry pasta got dumped in to the pot. The big challenge for Wes was calculating what time the pasta would be done by reading the box. Woo hoo!

Now the sauce was a little more fun. One pound of ground beef went into a hot pan. Salt, garlic, and dry herbs that sounded Italian all got sprinkled on to the meat. Wes got nuts with it.

Then we dumped a jar of Prego on the meat. Everything went in a big bowl and I found some parsley in a the fridge to throw on top.  Yep, it was that good.

But it tasted good. Food made it to the table. People were fed. No one got burned or bleed. No one got sick. High fives all around.
