Big Fat Ostrich

Look at all that pasta! Look how it tilts crazily towards you! It’s mesmerizing and that’s what happens when Dan, Mike, and a bunch of food ingredients hang out.

The plan was like last time: cook dinner, and come up with a new Bobbipins storyline. And you know what? I’ll save you the goddamn suspense and just say that the plan worked, ok? Three times in a row we get together with the idea of eating and brainstorming, and all three times we came away with gold.

So yeah, if you want your dinner to look just like that delicious, succulent bowl of pasta over there, this is what you gotta put into a saucepan on medium high:

a few teaspoons of olive oil
1 diced small onion and 2 cloves of crushed garlic (when these guys are golden brown, add the following)
1 red bell pepper
some mushrooms (sliced)
half a fresh tomato
pepper (use your intuition)
salt to taste

Now about the salt…well, I don’t have any! But under the pressure, Dan grabbed a handful of salted cashews and crushed them into the mix. It was a close call, but supper was saved!

So while all this was going on, there was a big pot of fusili pasta on the boil. It’s really boring to talk about, but it happened, ok?

Now that your mix of vegetables and onions and shit are nice and cooked, here’s the best part: stir a few heaping tablespoons of quality sundried tomato pesto. The one we used was called “pesto rosso“. Yeah really. If you can’t find that specifically, just use a quality pesto and you can’t go wrong.

And you know what? You just made a sundried tomato veggie sauce that’s ready to be mixed into your fusili, which is ready now if you timed it right! Did you time it right? DID YOU?

Now eat it. It’s delicious.

Hey everyone. I just bought a car! A brand new Honda Civic coupe. I love it to death. I would review it but it’d be a boring read. Absolutely everything rocks about it. EVERYTHING! So I’ll post a great tuna melt recipe instead.

But before I start talking about the recipe, I need to fill the white space to the right of the pic with random stuff, else it looks bad. I been playing Stick Wars on the iPhone lately. A very interesting take on the tower defense genre. I don’t even know if it fits in the tower defense category, but still, it’s fast paced and addictive and funny. I suggest you give it a try.

Ingredients:

1 branch of Celery

1/2 Green Pepper

1 can of Tuna

3 tablespoon Mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Curry

1/2 French Baguette (or equivalent)

3 slices Havarti Cheese

1 teaspoon Butter

1 lime

Preparation:

Cut the celery and the half pepper in tiny dice. Mix the tuna, the mayo, the curry and the freshly chopped veggies together. Cut the lime in 2 and press the juice of both halves in the mix. Stir until the texture is uniform. Cut the half baguette open, spread some butter on it. Put in the tuna stuff. Add the slices of havarti cheese. Pre-heat the oven to 375 celcius. Keep the sandwich open and slide it into the oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted. Once it’s out of the oven, let it rest for a minute or so and then enjoy. Mmmmm, it’s succulent!

Variations:

This recipe works well with a bunch of different breads and cheeses. Keiser rolls are great, as well as panini breads. As for the cheese, good old cheddar is also good, as well as Jarlsberg. Hell, even Kraft Singles would probably do the trick…

That’s it for now folks!
