12-9…A QUICK “FIX YOUR OWN” TONIGHT




Patience and I went our own ways tonight. She crashed, recovering from yesterdays 12+ hour day at work, fixing her own dinner, while I went to the opening reception at Gallery 1025. Returning home, it was my turn to eat, and after looking at a pretty empty refrigerator I turned to……pasta.

I cooked a handful of large shells, chopped up a few sun dried tomatoes, and grabbed the jar of basil pesto I keep on hand in the fridge. Tossed the cooked pasta with the two ingredients, grated some Parmigiano reggiano cheese on top and feasted to the sounds of a Tuscan CD.

IT'S NOT PASTA BUT.....

With Patience out of town, and a dinner invitation last night I've not been cooking any pasta. I thought I might do so tonight until I watched Eat Street on tv and decided the pasta could wait one more day.


Chicken Caprese

This is a piece of toasted multigrain bread with mayo, chicken, tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil pesto, inspired by the amazing food I saw on tv. It was delicious!
