Pasta Primavera and Blueberry Crumbles
Brian and Kristen are in town for the week and are able to stop in for
a visit this Thursday evening. We serve a vegetarian meal for Brian.
Since we don't get to see them all that often, we "fancy up" the meal
with homemade pasta, among other things.

Ingredients
- 20 ounces berries
- .5 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- .5 teaspoon cinnamon
- .5 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 recipe crumble
- ice cream
In addition to a salad with a lemon vinaigrette, we serve some farmer's market bread with a white bean spread (we remembered that Brian enjoyed it on his last visit, even if he didn't). For dessert, we serve blueberries with a crumb topping, similar to one of Kristen's favorite desserts at the Oregon Grille.
It was a very fine evening with company that we all miss very much. "Brian and Kristen Chicago" (as our son likes to say), but never far from our thoughts.
