Observing a 4 Year Old
Erin came over to observe our son for her masters class. He very
much enjoyed reading to his aunt—especially
Freight Train, which
is perfect for a little boy who like things with wheels. After the
reading session, we convinced Erin to stay for dinner.
We served pasta with sauce.

Ingredients
- 20 olives (drained)
- 20 olives (drained)
- 20 capers (drained)
- 1 clove garlic (peeled and coarsely chopped)
- 1.5 tablespoons oil
- black pepper
Instructions
With the mini-chop attachment for our immersion blender, we combine the olives, capers, and garlic. We pulse, scraping down the mixture a few times with a spoon. When it is coarsely puréed, we put in a ramekin and stir in the oil. We taste for seasoning and add some freshly ground black pepper. We serve with bread and refrigerate the leftovers.
The kids had pasta with cheese, preferring cheese to tomato sauce. Our daughter desperately tried convincing her little brother to eat all of his asparagus. Erin would surely want to go to Cold Stone for dessert. As usual, our daughter's scheme was successful .
