I don’t know jack about pasta. I have to look it up when I see the names. Maybe I should go to Italy and hang out for at least 3 months and soak up the culture and learn the names of pasta! Orzo is hard to find. Maybe I don’t go to right places? Normal…… Continue reading Orzo & Housing & Tomato Sauce

EXTRA ZUCCHINI??
Try this: Grate your zucchini. If it’s a big one divide portions in 1/2. Sautéed in butter with a little bit of salt. When it’s cooked, add one egg and scramble. (Note: I find it easier to cook individual servings) Plate up and add soy sauce. Tastes like Egg Foo Young without the gravy! RECIPE…… Continue reading EXTRA ZUCCHINI??
49ers vs Colts Easy Eating
Today is Sunday and there is another game I gotta watch. 49ers vs Colts. Ok…I USED to be a 49ers fan until they moved to Santa Clara. Why aren’t they call Santa Clara 49ers?

Refrigerator Bread & Butter Pickles
Ahhhh! Cucumbers are in season!!! Been buying them at my small local farmer’s market for $1.50 per pound. Yes, I know they aren’t organic, but I soak ‘em in vegetable wash.
