59 days of happiness . . .

this part i am actually stealing from yesterday since we ate late and my class ran from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m.,  so there was little time to post my culinary mischief.  did i mention cooking makes me happy.

at kidlet's request, i made penne alla vecchia bettola.  that translates to tomatoes and pasta sloshed in vodka.  the reason we ate so late?  i apparently cannot read.  the recipe called for two 28 ounce cans of peeled tomatoes and i only bought one.  kidlet happily ran out to get the second can and some fresh oregano:
the recipe was excellent.  the first time i've ever baked gravy but i think the 9TS tainted us pseudo-italians into favoring marinara and gravy thick with meats.  the cream sauce was a really good change of pace but it won't make it into rotation.

chocolate ice cream with pancake syrup and chopped walnuts . . . a nightly occurrence.  burp.

fast forward to this morning:



these fellows have no fear.  i wonder if i should point out that november is on its way?

Stick with Butterball for Thanksgiving. Wild turkey for the most part, do not taste good. Very game-y if you will, which makes sense considering what they eat.

Your pasta dish looks deelish, even though I cannot partake any more. :(
