He Must Be Fed
Matt had to stay late again; fortunately, they were able to fix whatever it was that needed fixing, so no more late nights!

I made a tomato sauce, cooked some organic, four-cheese tortellini, put it all in a bowl, and topped with Parmesan cheese.

Sure, once the sauce is cooked...it's pretty quick!
But the point is, Matt had some good food waiting for him when he walked in the door.

of course, he had to wait three or four minutes till I got a picture!)

Thanks, Ina
Matt worked late Tuesday night (big computer stuff, much too technical for me to pay attention to), and I was busy doing a dozen different things all afternoon and into early evening. Still, I wanted to have dinner for him, whenever he got home, so I...
