Girl friends and home cooking

The finished product.  It was an interesting sauce.  Next time I would likely use a sodium free beef broth and a heartier red wine – although the guys didn’t find it too salty.    Also, I would prefer a whole wheat pasta but not all the PM crew is a fan (right PD?)….  I think Mimi would have preferred the pasta I served as well.  She is a stickler for tradition and not unlike PD in that regard.

Recently on a visit with her, she was talking about how much she misses home cooked meals.  Everything she eats is prepared somewhere else.  That made me sad.  She loves good food.  And always loved to cook.  Still does.  She just can’t.  Her arthritis is bad and she can no longer lift the pot.  All the more reason to honor her by making her favorites.

I shared the blog with her during our visit last week.  Her comment….”don’t you have any friends that are girls?”…  I laughed out loud.
