You know, surprisingly, that wasn't the first pee story you've told me before. I just finished watching Modern Family with Daddy and Kelly.... and Mommy just got home from a dinner party. I made a pasta dish for dinner, which was a little bland, but with a little salt and pepper, it wasn't too bad. It was better than frozen Lean Cuisines for sure. This is also from the Camp Shane cook book:

Penne with Mozzarella, Cherry Tomatoes and Basil

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 cups (1 medium) red onion, thinly sliced
2 cups (1 pint) cherry tomatoes cut in halves
16 oz Penne Pasta, uncooked
8 oz fresh mozzarella, died
8 leaves fresh basil, thinly sliced
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Ground black pepper

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Heat half of the olive oil in a large skillet. Add onions and saute over medium hear until soft. Add tomatoes to skillet and cook five minutes or until tomatoes are heated through. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and toss with sauce. Add mozzarella cheese, basil and black pepper. Drizzle with remaining oil. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.


Now, this uses a whole thing of pasta, so it's more than one serving... so portion size is important. Today,  I snacked on Chex Mix without portioning it out first. so I don't even know how much I had, but I don't think it was that much. School was the usual, and I also had a corn muffin and the last of the smoothie for breakfast this morning-- my meals during the day are never extremely varied.

And now I have to memorize a script for Spanish class.

Adios,
