Cooking
Despite having a perfectly lovely dish on our menu for Tuesday, neither of really felt like cooking.
Fortunately, for times such as these, we keep 'emergency supplies' around.
Such as the somewhat gourmet frozen pasta offered at Earth Fare.
So, with a bit of cream sauce, dinner was a very small plate of very filling Garlic and Gorgonzola Ravioli.
Thank goodness for emergency supplies!

Still mining my magazines, this fantastic dish came from a recent Gourmet. This recipe treats the spaghetti like rice, and it's amazing. I made two versions. One pot for Matt, the other for me. No way I was missing out on this. Thinly sliced garlic...
- Maybe Not 30 Minutes, But Close!
Due to some issues Thursday, we postponed our weekly grocery shopping trip and went out Friday. Friday was also the day Alex decided he did not, in fact, need to sleep during nap time. We didn't get started until around six, and had three stores...
