#2 Son wanted to make dinner the other night. I wasn’t going to stop him. He puttered around our almost-empty kitchen for a while (it had been a while since I’d been shopping) and came up with Trader Joe’s ravioli with pesto (made in September with my bounty of basil). That would have been a tasty if staid dinner; I often do the same thing with TJ’s tortellini.
But #2 Son took it further. He sliced up an onion, caramelized it, and added some toasted pine nuts.
He’s more creative in the kitchen than I am, that’s for sure. The kid has a future (of cooking for us, at the very least).
