Little Walking Embarrassments
I have to share this from realinterrobang's journal ():Ah, the Pitter-Patter of Little Walking Embarrassments: You should read this and then read the comments. If you're one of those normaloids, you'll be dying from laughter and thinking, "How cute, in an embarrassing sort of way," and if you're like me, you'll be dying from laughter and thinking, "Thank goodness I don't want kids; nothing like that will ever happen to me."
And she also shares a Fresh-Tomato Pasta Sauce recipe:It was almost a shame, putting the sauce I made on store-bought, frozen ravioli...
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
approx 25 ml/1.5 tbsp. olive oil
3 large cloves garlic, minced
approx 15 ml/1 tbsp finely chopped, bruised, fresh oregano
approx 15 ml/1 tbsps finely chopped fresh basil
45 ml/3tbsp sweet white wine
100 ml/approx 1/3c sliced black olives
15 ml/1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Add olive oil to a thick-bottomed frying pan and preheat. Add the tomatoes, and saute gently until they start to release their juices, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and saute, stirring, for several more minutes. Add the wine and herbs, except parsley. Cook until nicely reduced, approximately 15 minutes. Add the parsley and black olives immediately before serving, and stir until heated through. Serve with cooked pasta.
Serves two as a side dish, or one as a main course. Vegan-friendly, vegetarian, and as kosher as your kitchen.
