Macaroni Surprise

Macaroni, a kind of pasta shaped like tiny curved tubes, but where I’m from, any pasta that isn’t spaghetti is called macaroni. I don’t know why. I guess it’s just one of those things that get renamed by some people.

My son, SonTer, loves macaroni, so I make sure I have enough and a variety of “macaroni”.

I have five months till he goes to secondary boarding school.

Yesterday I was doing some thinking and told myself I would be intentional about the time we have left. One sweet thing a day, wish me luck here.

He loves surprises, no matter how little. So for his school lunch today, I packed for him a “macaroni” surprise.

What was in my “macaroni” surprise?

I’ve never cooked more than one pasta in a meal for him before. I have only done that in my salads and he’s not a fan of salads so I doubt he has ever seen it.

I dropped him off at school and I’ve been at work, smiling at myself, imagining his reaction when he opens his plate to find what I made.

One day win.
