Sometimes the bigger accomplishment is not the meal you planned for and executed so well, but the dinner you somehow pulled off when at 6:30 you realize neither of the adults has thought about dinner and there’s seemingly nothing in the fridge.
That was Wednesday this week. I had my head in the fridge and was on the verge of giving up and starting the long and painful conversation that is ordering takeout, when I realized we had everything for Penne with Cherry Tomatoes, Anchovies & Garlic. Plus salad, and grape juice in a mason jar for the hipness factor.
30 minutes later, dinner was on the table. Killed it!
I totally love when this happens!
I feel like I have just competed on Iron Chef and won!
It is such a triumphant feeling to pull food from seemingly thin air. It’s like we are kitchen magicians.
Congrats. i feel you!
Congratulations, this recipe from Mark Bittman, of the NY Times, is my favorite old “warhorse recipe.” It’s quick and easy to make and it’s fabulous. The essence of Italian cooking simple and most times quick. Poppie (A.K.A. Dad)
