Full Service Supper

The kids were inspired to make supper the other night, and I’m not sure where it all came from, but they did a fantastic job. It started with A, who said that she wanted to make soup. Now I wasn’t privy to the conversation, but she and R brainstormed and perused the cookbooks and came up with minestrone soup. We had many of the ingredients, but not all of them, so she and R went to P/C to get the rest.

We had a busy day, so the plan was to make soup for supper. We got some crusty bread, and with the leftover parsley, N made chimmichurri, which is this killer olive oil and vinegar dip from Argentina. We also made a wheat berry salad.

Now I wasn’t sure how much of the work was going to fall onto my shoulders, but truth be told, the kids did a wonderful job, and did a lot of the work themselves. Certain things, like chopping with a big knife, I wasn’t about to let them do, but with everything else, they were fine.

The meal was amazing, and they even set the table and folded the napkins and lit candles. It was too cute for words. Were we feeling unworthy? Of course, but what else is new?

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to gulizars for the pic.
