Cook. Craft. Enjoy.

Start of a Trend?

Hmmm... blogging 2 days in a row.  I hope this is the start of a trend to get me back to blogging reguarly.  Tonight's dish?  A pasta I found in November's Everyday Food magazine ... Spaghetti with Sweet Sausage and Cabbage.

How was it?  It was good but a bit too greasy (from the sasusage).  I opted to use spicy sausage instead of sweet and I'm glad I did because it added a nice bite.  It really reminded me of my mom's cabbage and noodles -- which is basically cabbage saute'd in butter and then mixed with either egg or bow tie noodles.  (That, by the way, happens to be a favorite of my brother.)  No, I don't believe I would make this again.  While it was eaten (by everyone but Liam who had plain spaghetti) it didn't receive big rounds of applause.

What? A Post?

I know, I know .. I haven't updated the blog in ... oh ... way more days (months) than I'd like to admit.  I could give some excuses, but I'm not about excuse so, I'm just going to say I think I'm back.  :)

While I did make a nice Thanksgiving dinner, I still wasn't in a blogging mood so I didn't get any photos of it... so I'll have to make this first post about what I made Travis and I for dinner tonight ... shrimp and potatoes.

The recipe was one I modified from November's Everyday Food magazine ... Shrimp with Scallions and Crispy Potatoes.   The original recipe uses curry powder as the seasoning and while I would have enjoyed that, Travis isn't a big curry fan so I opted to dump some Old Bay Seasoning on it instead.  Diced potatoes stir fried with some scallions and then mixed with shrimp .. easy and delicious.
