Bounty, and Pudge
Pudge Rodriguez was all up in my grill yesterday. Here she is sniffing some kale, which is quickly becoming her favorite green, and that is saying a lot since this cat can’t get enough vegetables. Or bread. Or cheese. Or anything spilled on the table. Or anywhere.
The Newleaf bounty included lettuce, kale, half a pineapple (though I haven’t even cut into the last one), three tomatoes, an apple, a mango, more blueberries, mushrooms, and an onion knob.
Zucchini and Kale Pasta
Zucchini of my Heart
I made zucchini and kale pasta with tomatoes, onion, and garlic sauce, with parm on top for dinner. I think I’m officially done buying pasta sauce! It is easy to saute up some onions, garlic, diced tomatoes and a little tomato paste while the pasta is cooking. Just season it (crushed red pepper flakes, fennel, fresh ground pepper, a tiny pinch of salt), and you are good to go. The zucchini is perfect right now, which is kind of a shame because…
I’m fleeing to Detroit for the Sox Tigers double header tomorrow! That is right, second double header of the season and it couldn’t be happening at a better time. I haven’t been to Comerica Park since it opened. And where better to mini-vaca then the saddest city in the world?
I’m going to go to game two naked so Curtis Granderson will take me home with him. Game one naked? Very unpleasant sunburn AND I wouldn’t get to see game two. That is called planning! And I’ll get to go stay with Mama and Papa Granderson on the south side whenever I want. Win. Win.
Be back Saturday. I’ll miss you.
