Herb Garden & Pasta
Long time no anything on here! A missing attach-camera-to-the-computer cord has just been found so things are back on track. The weather's gotten beautiful here lately and I wanted to share my most recent work-in-progress. . . . In the pot, from left to right, is cilantro, parsley, and basil. They have a lovely view of the Capitol!Turns out herb gardens should be watered daily. Or they will wilt. But they're tough. I know I'm going to have to thin the plants more, but it just makes me so sad
to kill the little baby plants. After I thinned the cilantro the first time, I stuck the extra ones into a vase with water and they're growing quite nicely.In the meantime, an easy recipe to share: Martha's Spicy Shrimp and Tomato Pasta. Basically, a super-easy Fra Diablo. I only made it w/ 2 cans of tomatos, rather than 3, and so cut down on the red pepper and capers. I think you could add red wine to this recipe as well. Tip: I peeled the shrimp while waiting for the water to boil for the pasta.
It was 1) yummy, 2) a couple of meals worth, 3) the other eater-person seemed to enjoy it as well, and 4) it took no time to make. Under the totality of circumstances test, it was very good. And as I have plenty of evidence to back up that decision, my opinion is neither arbitrary or capricious. Long week? Yes. I'm off to play outside.
I'm itching to try ATP's scone recipe sometime this week! Sounds delicious!
