The Family That Eats And Karaoke's Together ...Continued from yesterday: With all of my children living in different cities across three time zones it's rare that we're ever all together. But over the course of Maria and Justin's week-long visit from Los Angeles we came close.
Maria and the girls were at a play date that morning with the children of one of Maria's grade school friends, and I suggested that, for those of us who were available, lunch at First Watch would be the very thing, ...not the least reason being that I, for one, was craving the First Watch Avocado Toast: "thick-cut whole grain toast topped with fresh smashed avocado, EVOO, lemon and Maldon sea salt. Served with two basted eggs." First Watch Avocado Toast is one of my favorite edibles on the planet,
...and the custard-filled pancakes that Theresa ordered were so good - she generously offered me a taste - that I'm sure could easily develop an addiction to those pancakes, too.
...which we all took turns joining in.
......and somehow karaoke in the middle of a Wednesday afternoon, ...just felt right, ...until Theresa had to leave for her drive back to Cincinnati, ...and I had to start dinner It had been requested that I make the family favorite that everyone just calls "Linguine" - as in "Mom, can you make Linguine?" - even though the dish is actually made from fettuccini.
Here's the recipe: LINGUINE 2 packages Knorr Vegetable Soup 3 tablespoons flour 1/2 cup butter or margarine 3 cups milk 1 bunch cooked broccoli 1 lb cooked fettuccine Mix the soup and flour. Whisk the milk into the soup and flour mix. Melt the butter in a large pot over the stove. Stir the soup, flour and milk mix into the butter and, over low to medium heat, stir the mixture constantly until it just boils. Simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the cooked broccoli. Pour over the cooked fettuccine. Enjoy!
...topped with ice cream, strawberries and cool whip.
...even when eaten with stickers stuck on one's face.
