Pathetic Fallacy

the day outside reflects my mood today

it’s rainy and dreary
i’m more dreary than rainy though

Congrats to Lisa and Bobby on their new edition: Baby Finley

Slowest……Afternoon……EVER

today went by slowly

reallllly slowly.

No one felt like working. It’s Friday afternoon and everyone wants to get their weekend started.
now i have 5 minutes to kill before i have to leave to catch the bus.

That is all

Spreading the Love…of Morkies!

I get really excited when someone is interested in getting a small dog because they usually fall in love with the cuteness that is Paddington.

Today i am happy to say i might have swung another to the way of the Morkie.
This makes me smile.

Tomato Cream Tortellini

Ingredients

½ clove garlic, minced (cut up very small)
Onion, cut into small pieces
Olive oil
Lemon Juice
Tomato sauce (Ragu, Classico, Pizza Sauce etc) OR 1 large tomato
Alfredo or Cheese Sauce (Classico makes some good ones, Alfredo, 5 cheese Alfredo, roasted garlic alfredo)
Tortelinni or Ravioli (I usually do cheese filled, I don’t like the meat ones)
Wine (optional)

Directions

Sauce:

Authentic Sauce Way

• · Put the onion and garlic with a bit of oil into a small pot and cook for 5-10 minutes on medium-low
• · Cut up the tomato into small pieces and put it into the pot (put as much of the juices in as possible) – add more oil if needed
• · Add lemon and wine, as much as desired (I usually just use a splash of both)
• · Let the mixture cook on medium for about 15 mins or until it becomes mushy and liquidy
• · Add the whole bottle of Alfredo sauce into the mixture and stir, let this heat on medium-low heat for about 5-10 minutes and then serve right away over pasta

Quick and Dirty Way

• · Put the onion and garlic with a bit of oil into a small pot and cook for 5-10 minutes on medium-low
• · Add lemon and wine, as much as desired (I usually just use a splash of both)
• · Add the whole bottle of Tomato sauce and the whole bottle of Alfredo sauce into the mixture and stir, let this heat on medium-low heat for about 5-10 minutes and then serve right away over pasta

Pasta:

• Bring water to a boil
• Add pasta and cook for the recommended time (I usually cook for 1-2 minutes less than the recommended time)
• Serve immediately with the sauce

Timing:

If you are cooking the sauce the Authentic Way, start to boil the water for the pasta about 5 minutes into letting the sauce cook. If you are cooking the sauce the Quick and Dirty way, put the water on to boil at the same time as you start the sauce.

Music That Moves Me…

There are some songs that no matter how many times i listen to them, they still are as good as the first time i heard them. I am still loving John Mayer’s new album and 3 songs in particular cause me to hit the back button several times. These songs are:
Belief
Vultures
Slow Dancing in a Burning Room

And one more:
Imogen Heap – Hide and Seek
i will never tire of this song
I sit at work with my iPod singing songs into my ears while i’m grooving in my chair. Anyone who comes down this end probably thinks i’m nuts, but i can’t help it. it’s the good song syndrome…you can’t help but move to it.

Another New Blog???

Ok so i know this is about the third blog i’ve had this year, but bear with me…this one will hopefully be worth it. The last version of the blog, i could only post from home but this one, i can post from anywhere.
