Looks delicious and not surprised it was a huge hit. But I think you could cook anything and it would be a huge hit for your lucky grandkiddies!

How I wish my grandies could just drop in.
About 18 months ago my son and family moved interstate, from WA to NSW and I miss them terribly.
I am heading across in 5 weeks time and counting down the days.
Now I know how my mother felt when I left Victoria and moved to WA. Karma perhaps.

It is hard when they move away . You will really enjoy them with each visit
Where in NSW are they.

They have bought a 122 acre property in Dilkoon, some 15 minutes from Grafton. My son always wanted an off the grid property and live a self sufficient life style.
He has always worked in jobs managing boat yards and marinas, and is still doing that in Coffs Harbour so quite a hike to work every
day, but he loves his job.
Now with the property as well he is going to be a very busy man.

The pasta dish looks really nice and easy to make . Also good to have a few spare meals as there are only the 2 of us . Especially in this terrible non-stopping rainy weather with road closures and cleaning up yards .
As long as we don’t get another power loss . It was one of the reasons I’m cooking on gas .
