Don't get me wrong - it tasted fine. It just wasn't what either of us wanted. You know it's bad when you only take 3 pictures of the meal and none are very good. I think we'll be retiring the recipe for awhile. I need some new ideas. Better yet, I need to find some time to go through my blog and revisit old favorites. I also need to (finally) make my famous eggplant rollatini. I can't take all the credit, though, since the recipe comes from Lidia.
I didn't feel like eating a huge plate of pasta so I had a smaller serving along with some leftover salad from Monday:
I left my creamy Caesar in the work fridge so I made due with red wine vinegar and oil. I added some green olives with pimento (I love their kick) and some grated cheese and the salad was actually quite tasty.
he wasn't interested in having anything involving meat for dinner (I know, I almost fell on the floor from shock)
ReplyDeleteheh. I would have too.
now I see what you meant in your post below. but that's a good thing, a perspective shift of sorts. right now I am so inspired and motivated all the time about everything I make, but that's not an always thing, not for any of us - thank god, or else I might feel creatively deficient. ;)
Melissa - They can't all be winners, at least that's what I tell myself. Sometimes I'm really inspired to cook and other times I can't even find the energy to boil water. :)
ReplyDeleteoh I hear ya. last night = leftovers.
ReplyDeleteMelissa - Last night = Chinese. :P
ReplyDeleteActually, it worked out well that we went out for Chinese. We've been looking for a good place near our house and the place we found was excellent. I can't wait to order takeout from there.
