Snow and the Simple Pasta
A home-cooked meal is a rare thing this week. Rare, but welcome.
It snowed heavily this afternoon—yet another weather
event for which the weatherman failed to provide warning. The kids'
behavior before dinner was not stellar. Robin was sick. All of
which made the pasta topped with homemade sauce and sauteed spinach
taste that much better.
Menu
- Pasta with Sauteed Spinach and Homemade Sauce
- Roasted Asparagus
- Trader Joe's Bread
If we eat out more than once or twice in a week, it is safe to assume that we are busy. Last night, we had dinner at Moe's. Today, we had lunch at Chipotle. Tomorrow night, we are eating at Applebee's (courtesy of a gift certificate from our daughter's school). So we are quite busy.
As usual, when life is hectic, someone gets sick. This afternoon it was Robin playing fate's victim—her lymph node swelled to the size of a golf ball. Thus, it was perfectly understandable that Robin felt that the ease of preparation was the best part of dinner.
