Back to Food

I'm gonna eat you.



So I'm kinda in the mood to cook tonight! Hopefully I don't get out to late from work and have to eat
ramen again...or worse, Taco Bell. Ya, I'm classy like that.

My idea stemmed from the yummy pasta at Trader Joes. Its a lemon and black pepper paparadelle. Its sooo yummy just on its own with butter! So I want to cook that and then make a butter and chardonnay sauce with seafood. I have a pack of the Trader Joes frozen seafood mix which is scallops, shrimp and calamari rings. I will saute the seafood in butter and olive oil with a bit of garlic and shallots. I'll de-glaze the pan with Summerland Winery Chardonnay and then add fresh parsley and lemon. Should be simple and really good. I'll take a pic of it later on today and post it. Of course I'll have a glass of the chardonnay and yell at the tv all night. I can't wait.

Speaking of tv, what should I be watching? My usual's are 30 Rock, Sex and the City, Always Sunny, Real Housewives of anywhere, and sadly, The Bachelor. I'm thinking I'm really going to love Downtown Abbey so that is in the que. Also, I need recommendations for movies too! How should I rot my brain? Leave a comment with a suggestion.

  3. Mmmm I had spinach stuffed tortellini with pesto, tomatoes and fresh parmesan tonight. Tomorrow I'm going to do something with eggplant.

    I'm still thinking about a movie recommendation. I don't watch tv. If you have netflix instant watch whitney cummings, she's funny enough to watch with dinner.
