Happy Blue Monday

Daughter Sheila works at the high school with students. She is currently helping students complete their senior projects. One of her students is in the Culinary Arts program. As part of his Senior Project he prepared a complete meal. Sheila asked if they could use my kitchen. Although there are not blues in every photo, I think that there are enough that we appreciate both the blues and the talent put into the Senior Project.

Sheila does not prepare the meal but works with the student. Here are some of the ingredients that he used in preparing the meal.

The cheese stuffed shells served as the basis of a delicious pasta dish.

Here he prepared the delicious Italian bread.

There was a scrumptious cavatelli soup with bits of tomatoes and Italian spices.

This is a pasta casserole with a rich sauce and sweet Italian sausage.

The student arranged the napkins.

He began to set the table.

Here the student is teaching me to fold napkins.

I think that he set a lovely table.

As with every good meal there was a big mess.

We were served a delicious meal consisting of of a variety of h'orderves (the stuffed mushrooms were my favorite), wonderful warm Italian bread, a delicious Italian salad, cavatelli soup, pasta casserole, stuffed shells, and tiramisu, an Italian dessert.
