Or rather, I eat it for him. Lucky for Bruce, his father is committed to ensure that he eats a diet more diverse than French food. Unfortunately for our collective health, this does not mean that his father is committed to low fat food but the end result is awesome Italian food.
Le Gourmand choose an amazing canneloni recipe for his Sunday night special which required veal, pork, bacon and proscuitto. He probably didn't expect it to take five hours to cook but this made me feel a bit better about all the time I had spent in the kitchen the day before. Not surprisingly it tasted amazing - the veal, pork and bacon filling was extremely tasty and the pasta was rolled around not only it but some prosciutto and mozarella cheese before each roll was laid on a delectable tomato sauce and covered in a cream and cheese sauce. Divine!
My contribution - healthy green salad with Julia's Sauce Vinaigrette - lemon juice, vinegar, dry mustard, salt and pepper and greatly reduced oil content.

After I washed up I whipped up the Boeuf a la Catalane for Monday dinner and Potage Parmentier (Leek and Potato Soup - simmer leek and potato for 20 minutes, blend in simmering water, season, add some cream or butter). Where possible, we have a nice little system where Le Gourmand cooks a double batch of dinner on Sunday night and I slow cook a meal for Monday night on Sunday so we have a good start on the week ahead.
