My 6-year daughter does not like chopped celery and carrots in the traditional bolognese recipe. So, I have created my version of bolognese sauce that is easy, quick and yummy 🙂

Ingredients:

1/4 cup olive oil
500 g mince beef
1 large onion (chopped)
2 medium carrots (blended with 1/2 cup water)
1 can tomato soup + 1/2 can water
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup red wine
2 bay leaves
oregano
salt & pepper to taste

Method:

1. Pour olive oil in large pan.
2. Add chopped onions, gently cook until golden.
3. Add mince beef (cook until meat no longer pink) & carrot (blended)
4. Add red wine, bay leaves and oregano.
5. Pour in tomato soup, 1/2 can water and tomato sauce.
6. Let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stir occasionally.
7. Salt & pepper to taste.

Doctor, Doctor, I feel like a sheep.
That’s baaaaaaaaaad!

Doctor, Doctor, I feel like a dog.
Sit!

Doctor, Doctor, I feel like a pair of curtains.
Oh, pull yourself together!

Doctor, Doctor, I think I’m a bridge.
What’s come over you?
Oh, two cars, a large truck and a bus.

Doctor, Doctor, I keep thinking I’m God.
When did this start?
After I created the sun, then the earth …

At last one man could stand it no longer.
“Hey kid, ” he shouted. “Why don’t you go outside and play?”

Household chores

“It’s all in the attitude – housework is exercise. Slim your way to a clean home!” – Linda Solegato

When it comes to household chores, whatever I find most difficult to do, I’ll take it on first. I find it best to tackle tougher chores early in the day when my energy and motivation are both at peak levels. By getting the tough task out of the way, it gives me the satisfaction and momentum to the rest of my day.

You may think you would be happiest with no chores at all. Perhaps you’re right, but that would not be the case for most people. Work and the satisfaction it brings seem to be a key ingredient in human happiness quotient.
