My favorite gross-sounding comfort food from childhood: egg noodles with sour cream, canned tuna, celery salt, and a tiny bit of minced onion. (I didn't have sour cream so I used greek yogurt.)
Sprout, of course, wanted none of it, so he's having egg noodles and parmesan and butter.

Sounds like a shortcut tuna casserole. Which does indeed sound nasty ;) Not that I'm one to talk. I'm having frozen spinach ravioli with garlic marinara. Yay pantry meal. |

Sprout's a smart boy. I hate tuna. Gimme summa butter noodles. |

I love tuna casserole! Sounds yummy.
Last night was a smorgasbord of pizzas (not frozen this time!) and other Italian delights. Tonight will be pork piccata with lemon and capers, roasted potatoes or sweet potato fries, and sauteed kale.

Here I am, again. I'm about to put some bread in the oven. Later, I might make the homemade whole wheat fettuccine with arugula pesto from the latest Food & Wine.

Yeah for ribs!
I think that I slashed my bread too far. Oops. Hope it still comes out nicely.

Maybe it'll just look extra exuberant? I bet it'll still taste delicious, at any rate, which is the most important thing.

I hope so, Corny! I never know if I'm doing the slashing correctly. This time, I heard a little hiss when I did it, so I was afraid that I popped it.

I'm on my own this week, so I just went to the store and bought a bunch of my favorite things! Cereal for dinner! Ice cream for breakfast! Right now, cheese!

I'll bet it turns out fabulously. Smarty, speaking of favorite things made with ab_grp's fresh bread, I don't see grilled cheese sandwich on the list. |

Like Prof Smartypants I'm on my own (but only for tonight). So, as WH only eats prawns when a) in a few favoured Thai restaurants or b) when in Greece or Italy, it's prawn saganaki over buttered orzo (he also claims to hate orzo, but having seen what happened to that honeyed octopus and orzo salad last time we were in Athens, I think it's a hatred as situational as his prawn problem ;-), accompanied by a wild ferment assyrtiko. |

One of my favorite white wines! Greek wine is ridiculously expensive and hard to find here in the States, so I don't bother with it. I miss it, though. |

The bread turned out well, and grilled cheese is a great idea! And this time when I made the fresh pasta, I did it a section at a time and it didn't turn into giant ball of pasta. The pesto wasn't my favorite, but all in all I think it was a success. Hooray! |

I miss it, though. <passes over large virtual glass> My local wine shop started stocking it about 18 months ago, along with Ovilos and a good Malagousia. Still ridiculously expensive, alas, even though we are several thousand miles closer to Greece. |
