Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think you should not use the vinegar, and add some clams and onions, and make a yummy clam sauce, Matt!
Apparently her oncologist needs to present her case to the cancer committee to decide how to treat it. She has Hep C so it's not a huge surprise. But she's only 45.
Oh, that's so tough, Kat. Poor sister.
I'd say melt the garlic butter, maybe a tablespoon or so per serving of pasta, then throw in a splash of the wine. Mix in the pasta, drizzle a tiny bit of the balsamic over the top. (Putting in any veggies or anything? Asparagus and/or white beans seem like they'd be good with that.)
The kids are getting so big! Noah's bath pictures really drive that home.
Afraid I have no fresh veggies or clams to add, it's pretty much tortelini and those sauce ingredients with parmesan to sprinkle afterwards. I've seen a cooking show that made sauce out of those 3 ingredients (plus crushed pecans), browned it in a pan, and dumped the cooked pasta in to stir. But I don't recall what proportion was used.
Kat - how horrible, I'm so sorry.
people have seen this (Obama)? [link]
Wow.
Me too.
Wow.
Thirding the wow.
DH and I just decided we're giving up meat for Lent. We're going to follow the tradition that allows you to break your Lenten fast on Sundays, so it's not going to be a month and a half with no meat at all. And since it was originally DH's idea and he's coming to it from a Catholic background, fish is allowed. But I don't like fish very much, so for me that's part of the sacrifice, and I'll only be eating it once or twice a week when he cooks it for dinner.
It's a big change from my usual Lenten sacrifices, which tend to be things like "no swearing," which lasts until the first time someone cuts me off in traffic, or "no buying books," which given the size of my to-be-read pile and my library hold list isn't a hardship unless a favorite author happens to have a new release in that range. But I'm looking forward to it as a challenge and a way of forcing myself to cook and eat more mindfully.
Thing is, I'm discovering my cookbook collection isn't exactly vegetarian-friendly...
ETA saw the video this morning--definitely a wow.
