Pasta: Loving it!
I’ve got to say … I’ve never been into cooking that much. I mean, yes I cook, but it’s because I need to cook, not because I LOVE cooking.
I somehow do wish I have the passion for cooking though. It’s always nice to see someone like Jamie Oliver who talks and cooks so passionately.
And he does it so naturally too. Chops and sprinkles a bit of this and that. Tosses it for a while. And you get yourself a really yummy meal.
Hmm. I guess I’m yet to discover that ‘hidden talent’ within me (though it looks like it’s going to remain hidden and undiscovered for quite some time! Hah.)
Anyway.
I tried a different menu today. Chicken with Pasta and Pesto sauce.
And hey hey … it turned out (to my surprise) very yummy! Hehe.
And the nicest thing about it all, the kids loved it!
Anya cleared her plate. Fast.
And Vai. He – who already had his dinner 30 mins earlier – wanted some too. And he ended up eating quite a lot (without the chicken though)
He sure had real fun in getting his hands on the food (read: has always preferred to eat with his hands). AND to me, it’s a good way of exercising his pincer grasp too!
And so it got pretty messy. As expected. Oh, not to mention oily.
Pasta was everywhere. On the floor, his hair, face, clothes and the high chair. BUT most of it successfully went into his tummy!
I’m a happy ‘though-need-to-do-some-serious-mopping’ Mommy!
