Three and done: Spaghetti bolognese
Crystal mentioned to me that she had a student who lived with his dad who was always away working. Dad left money for food but the student had no idea how to cook so lived on junk food and gummy bears, for breakfast. The student is a nice kid, smart enough, no reason he can't learn to cook but I guess no one ever showed him. The demise of home ec. has been well lamented elsewhere and gone are the days when it went without saying that you that learnt life skills where you lived life, at home. This got me thinking. I have been through my own arc of gastronomic ambition, from the 8 slices of toast and a pint of tea diet at boarding school to phoning my mum from uni to ask if I should still cook the chicken if it had gone green. I ate a lot of frozen sausages during that period of my life. In the last few years I've been a bit more ambitious as time and money have allowed. But since our second kidlet was born I've reigned it in. No more so...
