Gentle rain



Nothing drives me to the kitchen like the big wide open door,  the dogs alert but in a resting position while the gentle rain satisfies the new plants.  It makes me want to cook and I have not had that feeling for several days.  I made up a pasta recipe.  I am sure it has been done some place in the world, but it's my throw together Friday late lunch meal today.  I am hoping someone in this crowd has a take out idea for dinner. Andy is out in this gentle rain cleaning the newly opened pool.  It is not too bad this year but we hold our breath every spring when it opens. One never knows what has crawled under that cover and departed the world chuck full of chlorine. One year after the pool was opened and cleaned a baby deer went for a swim.  Now that was scary.  How would it get out?  Who would go in to get it? Only two people available that day; both old.  But the mother deer came back and the baby walked up the steps and out of the pool like Easter Williams. (Let's see who gets that last sentence.)

For the pasta: 
Fried pepper bacon and zesty Bob Evans sausage with lots of fresh herbs.  Drained the fat. Poured in Trader Joe's 3-cheese pasta sauce. Added more fresh herbs and put it all in the pot with thin, cooked, al dente pasta strands. Called in my hungry man and Bob's your uncle.

I had forgotten how good this cooking blog was.  I ran onto it again today.
There are so many good recipes and cooking videos.  Give a look.


To the doctor

We are off to the doctor to have Andy checked out since he has had two falls.  We thought to wait until his appointment on the 20th, but aft...
