the next food network star?

who will be the next food network star? well, if avery has anything to do with it, it will be her. she helps in the kitchen all the time and loves to pour, stir, mix, blend...whatever. tonight was no exception as we were making pasta. we don't eat meat in ours so there are lots of herbs and sometimes fresh veggies in our sauce. i had already added the garlic when i gave her the spoon to mix it all together and i'm not really sure how i didn't catch this, but i noticed that all of the garlic seemed to rise to the top - and i thought that was odd. turns out there was a good reason. it was then that i saw the opened container of minced garlic...and it was empty. she poured the entire bottle in the pasta sauce. we had to start all over, but she was so proud of her creation i almost didn't want to throw it out. but i also didn't want to eat it. one thing i can say, no creatures will be coming near our house any time soon!!! here's to our wonderful pasta...and the next food network star!

Okay, so Avery...I'm glad I'm not the only one who has over done the garlic before. When Rush and I first got married and I was trying to be the great cook I made a dish that called for a clove of garlic. Not knowing what a clove was....I put the WHOLE garlic in the dish. Needless to say...it got thrown out too!=( You have to start somewhere right?=)
