Cooking
My in-laws took turns visiting my brother- and sister-in-law a couple weeks ago (she's on bed rest, poor girl), and while my MIL was away, we fed Matt's dad.
I'd found this recipe in (I think) March's Bon Appetit.
It's so easy; shells are mixed with smoked chicken (getting use of that stove top smoker I bought Matt centuries ago), halved cherry tomatoes, and a sauce of cream and pureed artichoke bottoms. I'm sure there were other things in it, but I honestly can't recall what.
It was a huge hit. For as quickly as it came together, this recipe will likely be trotted out as casual company food again.
Blog Party#20 is underway, and this month, we're taking on the Shower! Turn fabulous treats into bite-sized party food, and stock up on fruit juice, because March is all about food and drinks for the Bridal or Baby Shower.
All you have to do is make ****AT LEAST ONE appetizer AND cocktail**** (that's a minimum of one EACH); take some photos, and write about it. Get your entries to me no later
than Thursday, 15 March: either leave a link here in the comments, or send it to me at thehappysorceress at gmail dot com. I'll post the round-up on St. Patrick's day, 17 March. Hope you'll join us!

- Smoked Mozzarella, Ricotta And Pine Nut Ravioli
I get these ideas, now and then. Ideas for flavor combinations. It's almost like a game I play with myself, figuring out what do to with an ingredient. Some weeks ago, I decided to make ravioli, and fill it with smoked mozzarella. I think smoked...
- As Close To Santa Fe As I'm Likely To Get
A few weeks ago, I watched an episode of Giada's Weekend Getaways where she travels to Sante Fe, New Mexico. In addition to discovering this is a place I'd really like to visit, she was served (at some point in the trip) a most wonderful breakfast...
- This & That Fry
Ever since my visit to Georgia last summer, and the discovery ofwonton noodles, I've been able to eat many more Asian dishes. (See, I have this weird texture issue...hate squishy noodles...) Something I really like, and that Matt makes, is a sort...
- Wdb: Catching Up
We've missed the past few WDB's, either from busy schedules or illness. So, I figured lots of puppy pictures would make up for it. At the moment, we're down to 4. Fluffy's owner came by and grabbed him just today. Don't know if that...
- Blog Party#20: Showers Everywhere
It seems to me that every year right about now, I start getting invitations. Invitations to a baby shower. Or a bridal shower (in some cases, both at the same time!). Spring is just around the corner in the United States, and many a June bride or May...
