Zucchini, Chilli, Olive & White Wine
After work, I went past the shops and bought some seafood to make lunch for the girls at work tomorrow. But before getting busy in the kitchen, I visited the beach for the last time. It was a bit gusty and the water was rather choppy so I just walked up and down the shore for a while.
Back at home, I showered, turned my mp3 player on and poured myself a glass of wine. I busied myself cooking a marinara sauce. I used the last cloves of garlic, an onion, a couple of cans of crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, white wine, olive oil, fresh basil and chilli flakes. I added the seafood at the last minute and then stirred the al dente penne through. I divided the pasta into some takeaway containers and left them on the bench to cool down before putting them into the fridge.
For my own dinner, I had bought a nice sized salmon steak yesterday, which I panfried in some olive oil and served with the rest of the gourmet salad leaves, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and some potatoes I had roasted with olive oil and rock salt. Delicious!!
After dinner, I used up the rest of the ingredients in the fridge - bacon, mushrooms, onion and cream - to make a penne carbonara, which I left in the fridge for the scientist who was flying up to replace me over the weekend.I spent most of the night between watching TV and packing my things so that I would be organised to go in the morning.
