Chef Gus

Tonight Gus made dinner.  From start to finish, he was the chef. And as we sat down to eat his spaghetti with homemade sauce, caprese salad, steamed asparagus, and cucumber and carrots on the side, it dawned on me: at age 11, he's already cooked more in one meal than many people ever do in a lifetime.

Step-by-step, dinner is served.

Step One: Use fresh ingredients - including peppers from the garden.

 Step Two: Get ready to saute!

Step Three: Add the "meat:"

 Step Four:  Add the tomato sauce.

Step Five: Get the water ready.

Step Six: Add the spaghetti!

 Step Seven: Cut the tomatoes and peel the cucumbers.

Step Eight: The table is set.

As his sous chef, I may have guided him just a bit.  But I also reaped the rewards!
