i am happy as a lark. or a bee. or anything else that warrants this much blessing. i'm just so happy.
we made a DELICIOUS bruschetta and pasta last night, but foodies among you might have some recommendations on how to jazz up the pasta a little. i actually think, in retrospect, a little chicken stock would do the trick... and maybe wilting the leaves a bit.
Serves 4
1 TB sea salt
10 oz (dry) angel hair pasta
1 bunch watercress (or other tender green like spinach or arugula)
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
11/2 cups artichoke hearts, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 TB lemon juice
1/2 cup crème fraîche
sea salt, to taste
Fill large pot with water and bring to boil. Add one tablespoon salt, then add pasta and cook according to package directions.
Separate the watercress leaves from their stems and combine leaves with the Parmesan and artichokes hearts and set aside.
Drain pasta after it cooks, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water. Quickly return drained pasta to warm pot and stir in lemon juice and the reserved pasta water.
Mix pasta with crème fraîche then add watercress mixture. Salt to taste and serve warm.

yay, enrollee!
maybe some capers would help the pasta some? i love me some capers. and artichokes. i've been eating canned artichokes for breakfast lately. (i would think i were pregnant did i know i am, most certainly not.)
i'm happy too. just wrote about, on my blog, how happiness = mental fog for me creatively. for me to be able to actually write anything, poemwise, worth reading i need to be down.
what a bummer, no?
one week from tomorrow i will be meeting you in grand central station.
one week from tomorrow the raleigh and rosemary show can commence. complete with the great flat hunt, dinosaur bones and a little (or a lot) of bubbly.
oh, no! i have that happen too. what do you think that's about? it kills me that torture lends far better to creativity than happiness does, it's such a bad trade. (why can't i have BOTH)
i wonder if that's true for chillins book illustrators too. suck-o. it is for me, and it sort of seems backwards.
raleigh and rosemary show! MY FAVORITE!!!
what all do you want to do/see while you're here??? more importantly, where will we eat.
what to eat? the ros knows! CAPERS!
now hold on, is "the next weekend" Mother's Day Weekend? just when does Rosemary get to trump high-maintenance-ma?
actually I need your help, reporters-extraordinaire. what am I to do? my new company has now asked me to consider starting a new division based in Ballmur ... okay, so how do y'all say Ball tuh mowrah. dontcha think I should live in Annapolis. Ya know, homage in a sideways manner to havin loved a cadet (wrong country, right cadet). I digress. what do I do 'bout the nana-banana -- she squealed with joy. Yeah, squeal like the stuck piggie 'bout Gulf states & Bham.
But Baltimore is sooooooo much closer to da ba.
biddy ma or widdy ba
biddy ma or widdy ba
what's a girl to do?
the obvious, consult the reporters extraordinaire
back to the real stuff: capers capers capers...the fun, non-foodie kind
but I would like to learn to prepare really good artichokes sans can
chillruns (ty northern SC) book illustrators are happy-clams ... all except for the 3 Little Pigs (Family Portraits: Hamhock aka Dad and Link Sausage aka Mom) ... now there's a sicko to love
no. you should live in alabama. (and yes, annapolis is so cute. but baltimore isn't so bad ma... they've got a full mooon bbq!)
