Lentil and sausage soup with a side salad and a roll. Soup's from Costco. Simple and effective, in this nasty weather.

Fusilli alla Caprese. It's almost not cooking -- okay, you cook it but briefly.

Here's a salad edition of this dish -- good for weight-loss, carb-control, or bodybuilder chow. It may also be served as a hot entrée.

Like this. The mozzarella definitely goes in last, with the chopped basil. Adding it in when the tomatoes and garlic are still quite hot will mean the mozzarella will stick goopily to your serving spoon. But it's quite nice if your cheese cubes are a little soft and rounded about the edges.

It's a light, fresh'n'bright-tasting pasta meal. Variations on it would be about endless: add in sliced black olives, sliced mushrooms, some varieties of firm sausage.

This might set a reasonable benchmark above which virtually any other dish would sit - anyone disagree?

I dunno yet, but I could use a bit glass of Shiraz right now.

Last night I had bourbon for dinner. It was gooood.

Tonight we are actually cooking. Stir fry from a bag that includes a little package of sauce, and we get to add the chicken! Actually quite yummy. Although, we haven't had the Teriyaki yet, I am sure it will be just as good as the Szechwan.

Depends on the mushroom and depends on the you, wouldn't you think?
