So we will eat...

Busted!!! Mattea in the potting soil...

(hey, you can see her cute little piggies in this one...)

Just a few random faces...

We tossed and turned and slept a few hours last night and I woke up in a little better spirit. So I decided to cook. We walked to the supermarket and tried to find the ingredients for spaghetti and for chicken soup. Here's what we came home with---

The package of sausage (?) was an impulse buy for sure, as I have no idea what it is. It sounded out to be something like kielbasa, so I took a chance. In front of the fusilli is 2 chicken leg quarters fresh from behind the counter. The little box is tomato paste. I really wanted some canned tomatoes but the only ones I saw were in jars with what looked like pickling spices so I finally found the paste. The ground meat has a picture of a cow and a pig on it so I am assuming it is pork and beef. I got a small carrot this time. Some of the carrots are as big around as potatoes, they are huge! The one thing I could not find was celery for the chicken soup. So we will make do with this, and today we cook. I hope Mattea likes spaghetti!

Here's the stove at lunchtime. The sausage was pretty tasty, and the spaghetti sauce will cook for awhile longer. I cut one of the sausages up into tiny pieces along with some peppers and onions, then mixed it with broken bread and some warm milk for Mattea, and she did her happy dance!
