food don't faint

 

ok here is the dish i served for dinner, don't look at the fancy plate please.   it tasted ok i will make it again but i will pump it up with some meat of some kind ,

if you want to make your own here ya go it's called:

FRESH POMODORO PASTA WHITE BEANS AND OLIVES

8 OZ WHOLE WHEAT PASTA  ( I USED PENNE)

2 TBLSP EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

1 15 OZ CAN CANNELLINI BEANS DRAINED/RINSED (WHITE KIDNEY BEANS)

1 LG GARLIC CLOVE MINCED

1 LB RIPE DICED TOMATOES (ABOUT 3 CUPS)

1/2 CUP OIL CURED PITTED BLACK OLIVES CHOPPED OR SLICED

1/2 CUP FRESH BASIL

1/2 TSP KOSHER SALT ( I LEFT IT OUT)

PEPPER FRESH GROUND TO TASTE

1/2 CUP GRATED  ROMANO CHEESE

BOIL WATER TO COOK PASTA ACCORDING TO PACKAGE DIRECTIONS . DRAIN

MEANWHILE HEAT OIL IN LG SKILLET OVER MED HEAT.  ADD BEANS AND GARLIC .  COOK UNITL BEANS ARE HEATED THROUGH (ABOUT3 MINUTES).  REMOVE FROM HEAT ADD TOMATOES OLIVES BASIL AND PEPPER.  STIR TO COMBINE.  WHEN I SERVED IT I PUT THE BASIL ON TOP OF IT AND A LITTLE OF THE SAUCE IT MAKES FROM THE TOMATOES THEN CHEESE.

NEXT TIME I WILL ADD SOMETHING LIKE PEPPERONI OR GRILLED CHICKEN TO IT BUT IT WAS GOOD LIKE THIS. 

CAT FIGHT

they are right over top of the computer acting like  kung foo nuts.  they were asleep and then black one got mad at a lizard on the window sill and the white one came to look and it was an all out war after that  hair pulling squalling and punches.   BOYS!!!

last one to bore you with today

love the cuttlebug folder the lace tree  it doesn't how up well here but it's on  light orange cardstock inked with a burnt orange ink  and some ribbon and jewels.and a crimped silver foil edge,  inside has two small cuttlebug packages and says happy holidays this for a scs swap

this one has been a royal pain,  the flock won't stay where i put it, it has stained two of the cards by rubbing off, so needless to say they're gonna be trashed and not used, i've changed this card  twice in the past two weeks and last night was the third and final change .  can you say  BYE  BYE!!! this is supposed to be for a scs swap and its due in two weeks  oh my i'm not even sure i like the change from last night either .
