I thought that when I posted about the blizzard in December that would be the biggest snow of the season. However, it would seem that December's snowstorm was only the tip of the iceberg (an all too true metaphor). On Friday around noon, it began snowing for about the umpteenth time this year and the snow kept going through a large part of Saturday. When I finally ventured out that afternoon, the snow came up to my thighs!! Now granted, Little Rhino has rather short legs, but still, that's pretty unprecedented.
After letting the sidewalks clear (kind of...my street isn't even close to driveable), today I trekked literally through slush, snow, and ice over to the Teet. I came back with a few more supplies and with the desire to try a new recipe. Firmly planted in my apartment once again, I came across a recipe for penne alla vodka using leftover marinara sauce and so that is what I made tonight (using 1% milk).
I liked it pretty well, but I'm not sure if I would make it again. It did feel good to make something new though and with a another storm brewing and promising 10-15"....There may be more new recipes to come!
Yumm! I just made some beef and noodles in the crockpot last week with a vodka sauce, but this one sounds excellent! Hopefully you have some fun new things to share now that you've been cooped up a little longer :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed, I do! How is that crockpot working out for you? Is it worth the investment?
ReplyDeleteAh, the crockpot... it's hard to get going on using it, but once I did, I think it's worth it. If anything, it's great to have for a party so that you can have warm food all night without keeping burners or ovens running all night!
