Thread: Nanny Dearest (Ava & SinfullySweet)

Sarah was rather happy to hear that Gabriella would be joining her in the kitchen, she wanted to talk to the woman a bit more and just get a feel for what thing would be like in upcoming days. Besides her point about the nook was a good one, she had unfortunately ruined a few good parts for her daughter by interrupting in the middle and it always made the girl a bit sulky even if she didn't say anything. So she let Gabriella get familiar with the kitchen as she grabbed a few things out of the pantry, an onion and some seasoning for the meatballs, and of course the spaghetti sauce. She went over and joined Gabriella, taking a deep skillet and putting it on the other large burner in front before filling it with the sauce and putting it on a high heat. Sarah laughed as Gabriella mentioned socializing, it was a non-existent part of her world and had been for a very long time. I haven't socialized with anyone outside of work in years, the only things I do are work and come back home. She didn't sound as if she regretted it because she didn't, Sarah loved her life with her daughter and although at times it could be tough she enjoyed every second of their new life. Besides, while she wouldn't mind moving on she didn't exactly trust men after her husband, making it difficult to allow anyone through her thick defenses. As the other woman got to work with the noodles she began to make the meatballs, dicing some onions and taking some fresh basil before mixing it all together with a pinch of salt a pepper and a couple of eggs to hold it firm. She wasn't the best cook but she had gotten quite good at a few dishes, spaghetti and meatballs being one of those few. She took no time preparing enough meatballs for six, knowing she could take whatever extra leftover to work. She then took the meatballs and popped them in the over which she had went ahead and preheated earlier in anticipation of dinner. She would then simply throw them in the sauce and finish them off in a few minutes. With a bit of time she turned to Gabriella, leaning on the counter next to the sink, A sleepover would probably be great for her, she has wanted to do one for so long and your list of activities could possibly get her out of the books for awhile. Just make sure to save me a few cookies so I don't miss out on all the fun. It felt so natural to let Gabriella do that sort of thing and the same with the kitchen, it was just her attitude, it wasn't hard to let her do something like host a sleepover when she sounded excited about it herself. The topic of breakfast was interesting though, Sarah usually threw a little something together for Hannah but she wasn't a big breakfast eater, sure she had a cup of tea and the occasional cup of coffee if she was sluggish but eating in the morning was usually a candy bar or some other quick snack if anything at all. I don't know, I usually don't eat breakfast, I usually just grab something quick and go... How about you just make me whatever you make Hannah and if I have time I will eat. Sarah reached down and took the meatballs out of the over, they weren't completely done but they had a bit of time already on them and as she plopped the round pieces of meat into the boiling hot tomato sauce she knew they would be done before too long. She turned the heat down a bit though not wanting the sauce to burn and let it simmer, enough to finish the meatballs and let the sauce remain nice and hot. Gabriella, just a heads up though, sometimes I get pulled into an extra shift or extra few hours at work so if I don't show up or answer my phone it will most likely mean I am still at work. Just didn't want to not show up on time one day and you not know what's going on. I will always try to call, it's just sometimes I don't have the chance.
