    A couple of weeks ago, LR’s teacher gave the class an assignment. Cook some food and document the procedure, including ingredients and all the steps required to make it. LR took this on board, and then (in her usual manner) decided to kick it up a notch — she’d invite her teacher over for dinner to eat it with us!

    After considering her options (and rejecting her favorite food, lasagna, for being too easy), she settled on home-made ravioli with puttanesca sauce, from scratch. Preparations began several days ago, with the sauce prepared in advance and the ravioli made the day before.

    RJ got caught up in the excitement and decided he needed to invite his teacher along too. He took care of the desert, a delicious berry and rhubarb crumble.

    Their teachers came over and were just fantastic. The kids were jumping out of their skins the whole time; a pair of whirling dervishes flying through the house showing them every part of their life at home: the collections of bones and dead things, art projects, gymnastics demonstrations on the couch and their home made movies. The teachers played along and the meal was excellent.

    What a great time! Fantastic job kids!

    LR tests the sauce... Her verdict, "DELICIOUS!!!"

    A small restaurant has been running in our back yard for a couple of years now. Everyone is welcome to stop by. They often have great specials of some really unique dishes. The pasta is particularly good, but a bit expensive. The turtle cake is divine. They are always willing to prepare dishes to your requirements, just make sure you let them know if you have any food allergies or other dietary needs.

    "Why can't I get any decent help around here?!!"... Life can be difficult being the sole proprietor of a small restaurant.
