The Great deWitt Family Cook Off of 2006

He made a hearty sausage ravioli with a pesto garlic bread. It looked pretty darn strange to me in the pan, like Lowly the Worms on steroids, but it made for a tasty meal.



Night #2 was my Mama's turn. She did a whole Asian inspired meal: Chinese spareribs, Magic string beans, a vegetable fried rice, green tea and Pocky for dessert.
