You're not alone. Made an excellent Italian inspired potato salad yesterday. Tuscan salad mix (loads of ruccola) , cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, parmigiano-reggiano cheese, fresh basil, potatoes and prosciutto di Parma.

I liked it

let's see.. I'll be roasting a chicken tonight very simply with butter, lemon, sea salt, black pepper, and maybe a little Tobasco, rice on the side and some steamed veggies

Cooking is fun, my second favorite hobby next to music. Next you might want to get into other related hobbies such as drink mixing and/or growing your own vegtables and herbs. Grow some fresh mint and make a Mohito, yum.

I'm just doing Kansas City strip steaks on the grill. May roast some potatoes, onions and carrots and grill some endive lettuce coated with a little olive oil.

no Micky D's for micky tonight...  my Carne alla Pizzaiola.. supurb though not a difficult dish.. I am a PC noob you know...  and I stayed true to the spirit of the Pizzaiola sause.. though it was tempted to add olives.

1 lb. beef round 1 tsp. oregano 4 tbs. olive oil 1 lb. tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped 2 cloves garlic 1 tbs. parsley, chopped
Slice the beef into 1/2-in. thick slices. Brown the garlic in olive oil and remove when brown. Add the beef, brown on both sides, add tomatoes and oregano. Bring to a simmer, then turn down the fire and cook for 15 mins. Remove from heat and add chopped parsley. Arrange in serving platter and serve.

watching my weight   yes that is it.. hahahha. .Raff throws me on a scale each time she sees me  to see how much weight I've lost since she's seen me. Knock on wood.. but I have to eat constantly to keep weight on.. a very active.. nervous person with a high metabolism.. and not being able to kick the smoking habit in spite of my advancing years probably helps

nope.. no pasta... stand alone... sure you could put it over pasta.  Raff and I spent ..quite a few hours talking cooking today (I told you she was perfect ) and having tasted the 'real' thing... I'm really big into authentic Italian cooking and dishes.  That site, where I got the recipe.. from the link I posted earlier today is paradise for me.  It's simple ..like I've come to understand real Italian cooking is..  but it is so the ingrediants, quality ingrediants, stand can out...
