How's your night going? I had a ridiculously stressful day at work. It was a take-a-bath-after-work-because-I'm-too-exhausted-to-stand-in-the-shower kind of day. On the bright side, I'm over the hump and have only two more work days until the weekend. Since this Friday is the first day of the month, there will be free bagels in the lobby Friday morning! I'm (not?) ashamed to admit that I've been excited about this fact for...exactly a month. It makes no sense - I can go out and buy a bagel any time I want one. But that's just not the same as free bagels in my lobby.
Dinner last night was a simple recipe that turned out to be delicious beyond belief. We finally grabbed the spaghetti squash out of the bowl (the one we bought over a week ago when we went apple picking), sliced it in half, and baked it in the oven until it was soft. That squash was a tough beast to slice in half, though. My husband wrestled with it for 10 minutes, threw it in the oven to "soften" for a while, and wrestled with it for 10 minutes more before it finally gave way. And my husband is strong, you guys.
He scooped the spaghetti out of the squash, and combined it in a big mixing bowl with sauteed red onion, garlic, and the last of a jar of diced tomatoes we bought at the farmers market weeks ago. We threw in some kalamata olives, capers, feta cheese and sea salt. That's it - 7 ingredients. So easy, and so good. Does anyone else get stressed out when they see a recipe with a zillion ingredients?
See those pieces of red onion? I kept looking at them and thinking the dish would be even better if those were little pieces of prosciutto. But then I wouldn't eat it. If I were making it for company, though, I'd tweak the recipe and make it a 1 on the ham scale.
Dinner was followed by mini pumpkin cheesecakes, which I might make again tonight, since I have an abundance of homemade goat cream cheese.
We ordered pizza for dinner tonight, since I was in no mood to cook or even see cooking take place, and it just arrived.
Have a great night!
