Back to cats.....
and food.
Yes, we have pasta in one form or another at least twice a week. There is always dinner if my pasta cupboard is full. I actually do have a pasta cupboard, no joke. I often made my own, but as with so many things, I have not for a long time. Why is it when we have more time, we don't use it? Or perhaps we use it differently. I spend too much time listening to books. Priorities change. The pasta I buy is good, why make things more complicated? Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Mark is meeting a brother for lunch at a local BBQ establishment that has made a name for itself. I'm going to use some of the smoked pork roast on a ciabatta role with maybe some havarti for my lunch. Sounds good to me.
Kristina is coming to visit this Sunday. No one here was in a socializing mood after putting Dani down, so we rescheduled. I think I will make brownies. I have a recipe I really like and don't use. I don't make baked goods, almost never. I can bake, but then we eat it and neither of us needs to do that. This recipe makes a more cake-like brownie. Oh, how I miss the days when my body didn't know how to gain weight. Alas, it learned. Well.
It's a beautiful day, I think I will finish the last bit of lawn I didn't get to and enjoy the pleasant weather.

Priorities change as we age. We have pasta maybe once a month when we make Lasagna. Meat, potatoes, fruit and veg is what we eat. I rarely bake anything like you said we don't need the calories:)
I bake fairly often, and most of it goes to other people. I can eat just one piece a day without jonesing for more, so there's that.
I haven't eaten red meat in decades!
Pasta is my potatoes. Potatoes and rice really raise blood sugar and I actually prefer pasta anyway! We have some form os meat a few times a week, but the portions have been cut way back. Mark especially ate too much. I make lasagna maybe 2-3 times ayear! You are ambitious.
We eat mostly fish, poultry and pork. Beef once in a while. Leftover protein usually ends up in pasta. This one had half a chicken breast. A good way to use small amounts. I don't have anyone to give baked goods to, so we eat it. I don't crave sweets but if it's there, I will eat it.
I think it is priorities changing, for sure. ;)
I can absolutely see why you wanted to postpone. I'm sure she understood, as she sounds like a horse/critter lover, too. *hugs*
The pasta does look good.
I like both pasta and cats.
Yes, Rita, she understood. She is a horse person.
It was fresh and light.
You have great taste, AC!
My hubby is a meat and tators guy. Though he does like my lasagna and will eat chicken or pork once in a while. I prefer light easy meals like yours and he doesn't.
:)
I could just fill up on veggies if it were my choice.
Good that you are back to your regularly scheduled program!
So was Mark, Val. I introduced him to variety and some cultural differences. He was willing to take that little journey. Who would have thought the farm boy would really like eggplant!
Jenny and I love pasta. I think most people do, but my mother for some reason disliked it. And that was despite her affection for Italy.
