Farmers market - for the first time in almost a month we finally get to go to the farmers market and share a crepe. What a beautiful day too. I even showered and dressed up in my white shirt. Almost seems a pity that we made a stop in to the Qzar to help Dan finish up the last of his videos. It only left us a half hour to look around and relax at Panama. Granted I was late to begin with only because I thought Ryan wasn't going to make it and took my time getting ready for the day and errands. I just seems to feel like that's what Ryan would rather be doing shooting the breeze with the guys. He did leave after he was done filming so I guess it should count for something. While waiting at the Qzar I found a recipe for melon salad in the Sunset Magazine figures it would be a good addition to dinner so that its not all carbs.
After Ryan left went to Safeway to get everything that we needed for tonight. Got a small nap in. It was more than a small nap I passed out with the cat for almost two hours. Went to Ryans house to workout since we didn't ever get around to it yesterday. Ryan told me that Dan went to the doctors to complain about his back. They gave him muscle relaxers, scheduled him physical therapy and told him not to see John to get adjusted any more. And of course he didn't want to tell me this. Poor John - I know he is a profession but I want him to succeed and help people. Surprised Ryan told me about that and not the fact that he got ticket to Searcy. I know its because I am not going but I can't take money from people. I don't think its right and I also feel he doesn't really want me there. I guess no guy truly wants a girlfriend around when he is with the guys. Italy will never come and he'll never give up Qzar.
I am not sure if Ryan was tired but he seemed extra annoyed - cursing more at P90X and Tony more than normal. At first I felt he was mad at me for running late all day. Or maybe Dan for flaking. It didn't put me in a good mood - I didn't even take a shower with him to rinse off. So I called Catherine to give er an update and possible watch a really bad chick flick from the Red Box - I was think Ramona and Beezus or Vampires Suck. Not so lucky they didn't have either of those at the Red Box so I picked up Just Go With It (scratched and won't play) and Country Strong. But I come home to a messy house and Mom eating one of the ingredients to the melon salad. Then Catherine is talking on the phone and decides to leave to pick up Bobby because he has no car? So no Dan and no Catherine now. I am so done with Tuesday nights. Waste of my money and I am the one who is really broke with no job and a mountain of debt. And Ryan gets to go to Searcy and Catherine has Dartanyan to take her to a wedding and I am the one left behind waiting like a loser. Ryan should just go back to hanging out with Dan on tuesday night drinking and playing video game.
Asiago and white cheddar shells with bacon and bread crumbs.
I wish the recipe was more exciting. But I do it this way so I can feed a lot of people. I buy the Shells and White Cheddar Pasta Roni boxes from Safeway <88cents> (cook as directed) I used four boxes, then added 1/2 block finely grated aged asiago cheese, 1 cup home-made bacon chopped into bits, 1/4 cup bread crumbs - mix and pour in buttered casserole dish. Top with rest of asiago cheese, 1/2 cup of bacon bits and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake at 400 degree oven for 15 mins.
You could probably cut everything in half or at least the pasta in half and make everything cheesier. I made this to feed 8 people + leftovers. Wish I was more gourmet or it was fancier/classier but it works. I think the bacon helps take it to the next level. Buy the way I didn't really measure so all of those are approximations.
Mango salad inspired by Sunset Magazine. (Mango, tomatoes, cucumber, serrano chile, cilantro and lime juice.
