Morning happenings...




This morning after pancake saturday, Nonna and I made Beschamel sauce for tomorrow's Sunday Dinner. (Recipe to follow).
Nonno sat and
sketched his second canvas which he and I
are going to paint together. At 92, he's still
quite the artist!

Maria’s White sauce for baked Pasta al forno

½ cup butter melted in a pot

add ½ flour to make a rue

In separate pot, heat ½ gallon whole milk

Add to rue a ladle at a time

Add to rue and milk mixture a piece of onion, one bay leaf, salt and pepper to taste , a pinch of nutmeg and ½ cup of grated parm. Cheese.

Stir constantly until sauce is slightly thickened. Allow to cool in pot. Cover and Place in refrigerator until ready to use.

  1. Cheryl, thanks for another good recipe - just wish I was there to sample it!!! Good eating to all. Anxious to see the finished painting project. It's a blessing that my Dad still has the desire and know how of how to paint. Again, God is so so so good!!! All Blessings, Gay
