1. The guy in the apartment below me is apparently blasting an AK-47, swinging a lightsaber, driving a motorcycle, knocking down and sanding walls, and occasionally speaking in an echoing, soulless female voice. I am not sure what video game he's playing, but it sounds like a good time.
2. I made this very good spaghettini with blue cheese for dinner tonight. It's insanely easy and intensely flavorful -- so flavorful that indeed my mouth is numb. Recipe courtesy of the cookbook Vegetarian Pleasures via Ted; serves four.
- Cook 1 pound spaghettini (or any long, thin pasta) until al dente in a large pot of boiling water.
- Melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter with 1/4 cup olive oil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup minced fresh parsley.
- Drain the spaghettini, pour on the parsley sauce, and toss well. Sprinkle with 1 cup (about 4 ounces) crumbled blue cheese and toss again. (Option: Add pine nuts or diced cooked chicken for texture and taste.) Serve immediately.
3. Wireless DSL. God bless it, everyone.

Funny. I made the blue-cheese spaghettini myself yesterday, for the first time in months.
ReplyDeleteOooh, that sounds good. I'm going to make it tonight for dinner. Would adding garlic be overkill?

Yummy! Okay, I used your recipe, except that I was out of blue cheese, so I substituted gorgonzola (sp?). And I added mushrooms, and the chicken you suggested.
ReplyDeleteIt was delish!!!

Ooh, I've thought about adding mushrooms too but never tried it. Good to know it works out!
ReplyDeleteOh my but that sounds good--and I just bought some angel hair, and some mushrooms. I know what's for supper tomorrow.
