"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

That reminds me of the overheard from the pharmacy today.

"What has more omega-3? Salmon oil or fish oil?"
"You know that salmon is fish, right?"
"Yeah."
t meaningful silence "So which has more omega-3 then?"

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Phillies Lose!!!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm in search of really simple sauces, for when I'm lazy. Like this one I found suggested for tossing pasta (and which'd work well for when I've bought Buitoni or some other fresh pasta):

WHITE WINE SAUCE
1/3 cup dry white wine (I used a Pinot Grigio)
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp salt

Or this to drizzle over grilled pork chops:

1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Any simple suggestions?

The bottom one is hard to go wrong with.

Another good one? (no measurements, sorry) combine one chipotle, lime juice, pepper, salt, sugar, and cilantro. Good with shrimp

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

For seafood, white wine + butter + parsley, maybe either garlic or garlic powder.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

For pasta, olive oil, salt, and garlic. Add parmesan, romano or whatever cheese you love. Cheese not required if you have another dish for protein source. Or for healthy one dish meals, add chicken, low fat meat, or fish of your choice along with veggies of your choice. Chicken breast and mushrooms are compatible - especially with a little lemon juice and wine. I like anchovies (which is not actually a healthy choice),but I'm taking a wild guess that anchovies are on ita's "never" list.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't feel right in my tummy, and yet? Hungry. Bleh!
