This Friday, pity dinner was a custom affair.  Some good basic pastas... spaghetti, fusilli and cheese tortellini ... topped with a strong red sauce .  From there you could add  browned sausage, pinto beans, kalamata olives and cheese.  This was inspired by Bubble's Pasta Fagiole at The Grit. An Italian meal would not be complete without some bread, so i also whipped up some seasoned olive oil for dipping.  Very tasty! Dory was back to cooking again - which is good on many levels and she even brought some brownies for dessert.  C-pap was quite pleased.  A successful return to a missed tradition!

we have been traveling the past two friday nights... off to Georgia with C Pap and Frizz to celebrate my father's 80th birthday!  happy bday Dad! last friday, a not so good meal at a truck stop burger king in CT... this friday, an ok late lunch at a deli in CT.  none of it compares to a pity dinner!  we missed you Dory and Squirt. during our stay in the south, best meal was a toss up between Momma Anne's dinner (awesome meatloaf!) and lunch at The Grit .  who knew tofu could be so tasty???

  Dory is still on crutches;  C-Pap and Frizz have a work event (on a Friday!), so I think we will let someone else cook, serve and clean up for us.   Mexican food should work just fine... margarita, rocks, salt!
