Mother’s advice on eating out

Pasta & Mincemeat Sauce – a quick dish to feed your hunger (Photo by Cynthia Nelson)

Hi Everyone,

It was a holiday and we were invited to lunch at the home of friends. Surprisingly, mommy was busy in the kitchen cooking. “What are you doing?” I asked. “You forgot we are going out to lunch?” With a brief glance in my direction my mother continued assembling the dish of Macaroni Pie to put in to the oven along with the dish of chicken that benefitted from overnight marinating.

I shook my head and walked off muttering to myself, “Mommy really like to give herself work.” Little did I know of the wisdom of her actions. Returning home from lunch the same afternoon and vowing that we could not eat another morsel, our bellies so full, Mommy laughed knowingly as we walked into the kitchen a few hours later in search of food. We were hungry.
