Sunday supper

Today's weather from yesterday's sunshine and cool breeze.  We awoke to clouds, knowing the rain wasn't too far away.  To me, the cooler weather and even rain are an invitation to make a pot of soup and sauce with meatballs.  It makes this week's meals so much easier to have pots in the fridge ready to heat.

And Ellie was ready to jump in and help.  You'll see from the photos she took an active roll in the meatballs and the pasta making.  And for the soup she was my chopped veggie collector .. as she scooped them up and added them to the pot - baked potato soup!

When 3pm rolled around we were all ready for Sunday supper of fresh pasta and meatballs.  And then they crew was off to play a few games of Wii baseball.

Her debut (so she tells me) at mixing the meatball meat!

Kneading the pasta dough ... of course involved a spelling lesson in the difference between 'needing' and 'kneading'

Solo kneading of the dough - she's happy to have her hands in it

Finished product - fresh pasta with meatballs!

Two helpings later - she's still doing her best!
