cook more

I cooked portabello mushrooms over angelhair pasta last night. I sauteed thinly sliced pieces of three portabello mushrooms in butter, garlic, pepper, salt, and sage. In the future a little bit of basalmic vinegar would be a good addition.

I served it over angelhair pasta. I thought I’d try the fresh pasta they sell in the refrigerated section. It stuck together and was doughy. In the future I won’t bother.

I also served salad with avacado slices on top. That was served with Newman’s Own Basalmic Vinegar Dressing and Feta Cheese. It was perfect.

I bought strawberries for dessert but we were pretty full and I didn’t feel like washing and cuttting and serving them, but I gave everyone the option of taking a few and eating them as they were (rinsing them if they wanted to).

Over all it was a very nice meal. The changes I would make are just for future reference and are not anything that made the meal less enjoyable.

And of course the company and conversation were great. What I really need are two more chairs and a table cloth.

I made Tuna Spaghetti for dinner last night. It was good. My roommate liked it too. I really need to get my stuff out of the living room so I can set up the dinner table, because we ate off the TV tray I brought to use as an end table. But this is another notch in the “cook more” stick. Next up: stir fry. Yummy!

my roommate and I bought loads of groceries yesterday, some from nearly every grocery store in town. now we have ingredients, and today we’ll get tools (as in I’ll find the box of pots at my parents house).
