Bowl Of Cold Cereal
No, this is not a joke. I am very serious when I post this weeks recipe as a "Bowl Of Cold Cereal". You see, there are kids out there who don't even fix themselves a bowl of cereal. The reason is one of two; the child is too young or the parent is a panderer. If you are a parent and you generally make even the most simplest of food for your kid then I suggest you rethink your goals and begin to teach your kid responsibility and skills. Here is the perfect starter, the bowl of cereal.

- Very simply stated. Young children can be taught responsibilities in the simplest of things, as you stated in pouring a bowl of cereal. If the milk spills, so what, if the cereal spills, so what. It is a learning experience and the child will feel really good about doing this for him/her self. What a great way to teach some responsibility and at the same time raise the self-esteem of the child. Making PBJ sandwiches is another easy task. The list of simple things is long, if the parent cares enough to take the time to show the child.

My horizon has already expanded to it's maximum of 3/4 of an acre. More than that and I might have to socialize. Parish the thought!
that's what I love about you, Patrick ... always ready to learn and grow and expand your horizons ... interestingly enough, southern France often uses pastas or rice (whereas the rest of France is usually potatoes)
ok. Then you have penne with the gravy from a southern France style beef pot roast. Tastes better now that I know what the hell it is.
Well that explains it. Your truth has set him free and he became lost in the moment.
Oui! Tres conveegial! (Laura, that's a word Patrick made up a long time ago)
I emailed John Briggs and complimented him on his improvisation. Here's what he replied:
"I consider this a honor I would not have tried this if I didn't sign on to your site for cooking
Thanks John"
well, it's more or less a stew, or just the process of braising some kind of meat in liquid (such as wine). It's just the southern French word for this type of braised meat dish
Now all we need is a butcher and a candlestick maker and we can set sail.
Laura wouldn't be Laura without her jam.
