Continuing with the same bad week above, by Wednesday I was tired cranky and in no mood for anything. I had networking drinks with an infamous Pixie that is the inspiration behind this string of blogs, and vented a little about my day, but by the time our meeting was over, my blackberry was overrunith with more things to make me MAD. I end up texting a colleague, saying I was going home to either walk my legs off, or drink myself into a stupor. He acually managed to talk me into shopping and cooking lunch for he and my other colleagues.... Selfish and manipulative, absolutely. (He'll never read this anyway - but I would tell him to his face) However, it wasn't bad advice. I did put my running shoes on, and walk myself to the grocery store, and came home and cooked lunch for 12. I made my sausage bean dish that I have previuosly blogged about, and it was a hit. I made a melted ice cream cake as well, but I admit cheated with canned frosting. It was easy,yummy, and remains one of my favorite cakes.
I did the same thing again one day last week, and made a pasta dish I have invented for my colleagues again. I roast zucchini, yellow squash, and cherry tomatoes on a roasting pan coated with olive oil, salt and pepper. Meanwhile, I sautee fresh spinach in garlic and oil. When it is all done, I toss the whole thing with Orichette and season more with salt, pepper and parmesan.
The concept is a good one, I get an audience to cook for and feed myself about 3 meals out of it as well.
