Ok, so my baby brother Matthew has finally grown up. Just about.
He’s 18 years old, taller than me, and as of next week… off to University!!! Say whuuuut?! I swear it was only yesterday he was scribbling on the walls and stuffing his face with everybody else’s birthday cake!
Anyways, my family and I were obviously suuuuper proud of him for being so clever and passing his exams (woo! -pom poms-)… but now we’re faced with the realisation that he’s going off to live independently and let’s face it…
..the boy can’t cook.
I mean, if we didn’t cook for him he would most likely live off a diet of coke, takeaway pizza’s, chocolate cake, and cheese. No lie.
Therefore, my mum lovingly took it upon herself to… get me to teach him how to cook. Cheers mum.
So the other night I cooked dinner with the little brothers help – ‘dinner’ being my simple sausage ragu with pasta that Matthew always asks for. It was an interesting experience to say the least. I am pleased to say the boy now knows spring onions are a thing. Sigh.
Though, I then thought, ‘Erm… I have a food blog… why am I not making recipe posts for him to pull up whenever he wants?!’ -LIGHTBULB-
So that’s what i’m gonna do – occasionally put up dummy proof simple recipe posts for some of Matthew’s favourite meals, annotated lovingly for him. They won’t necessarily be glamorous dishes (and most likely involve pasta… Ang looooves the pasta), but they’ll be homely and it’ll mean he’s more inclined to cook them for himself. Right Matthew? RIGHT?!
Anyways, I’m obviously starting with the sausage ragu we made…
