GRANPA PREPARES FOR A COUSIN'S VISIT

Actually Barb will do the grocery shop with my instructions. My cousins are visiting from Italy next week so lots of time for talk, laughter and good eating! We are Italian. Not sure what they will want to eat but planning several dinners and lunches- a lamb roast dinner, chicken,  a ham and pineapple, and whatever pasta dishes they will like. A good ragu sauce will be ready. There will be a day of open house for the kids and grandchildren to drop by and eat and visit. Barb has been preparing the bedrooms and bathrooms for the guests. Looking forward to seeing them as it is always good to connect with loved ones. From my Dad's side of the family so most people here do not know them. But anyone is welcome to come for a visit.

A SAUCE GETS GRANPA COOKING AGAIN

A nice ragu sauce is simmering on the stove.Ground beef and some pork bones for flavour in the tomato passata make it great with any pasta. Dealing with my health issues has slowed me down. But being back in the kitchen for simple meal preparation is good. The sauce takes more effort. I told Barb I am making it for her. Hum she said. You're making it because you don't like my cooking!
