“You can make anything you want in the kitchen. But you have to clean it up, too.”

This was my teacher prompt for Culinary Arts today.

And she was off. Handmade bowtie pasta won the day. Pasta-making is not for the faint of heart—it’s truly a process! But this is what happens when you have the ability to let a kid choose what their heart desires. The heart wanted pasta. It’s wanted pasta since The Heart first started eating pasta. And I have to give it to her, fresh pasta is delicious.

Sometimes I love this human more than I can even express. She’s cool. She’s committed. She’s motivated from a deep internal well that I cannot see, but I get to see the fruits of her creative stirrings and I’m so grateful God allowed me to learn all about life through my Liv.

I’m eager to see and reflect on more beautiful things through this year’s December Photo Project. Thanks again for joining me, friends!
