Catching up...

Yesterday flew by in a heartbeat so I couldn't even think about posting here. I'll catch up today. Tuesday night's supper was nice and simple - baked potatoes and salad again. We splurged with a little sour cream which, because I never use sour cream on baked potatoes, tasted almost too much. I typically use a little butter and ground pepper - that's my favorite. Anyway, it was most enjoyable, followed later on by popcorn. Yum. Last night I tried to get us out of the baked potato rut, and succeeded nicely. Remember the lone can of tuna that I've been trying to use? I picked it up and studied what else was on the pantry shelf. Okay, a small can of sliced black olives would do, and two boxes of thin spaghetti. I've been using half white and half wheat pasta, and have finally found the wheat one we actually enjoy. It's Barilla Plus Thin Spaghetti, and blends right into the white stuff so you don't really even see it. I chopped up an onion (always on hand) and a couple cloves of garlic (always on hand), sauteeing them in olive oil (always on hand). Once they were soft, I added a blob of butter for a little richness, and about 1/3 cup of white wine (usually on hand). Once the spaghetti was done, I blended the whole thing together. We enjoyed the combination very much, and will definitely use it again. We had carrot sticks on the side (no, not that pitiful early bag of carrots I couldn't seem to get rid of - this is a new bag, which is dwindling at a satisfactory pace.)

Now, what's for dinner tonight? Not sure, though it could possibly be barbecue, from our church's BBQ sale this weekend. We bought extra and froze it, but I suspect my husband has been eating it for lunches. If so, we won't have it for dinner. I'm always up for an omelet and toast, so perhaps that'll be it. Of course, as my sweet husband is wont to say, "There's always popcorn." See you tomorrow.
