Happy Tuesday! It's been a good day, after an iffy start. I was in very bad need of an attitude adjustment this morning and asked my Prayer Group at work to pray for me. What an awesome God we have!

Supper was good. We were missing a couple from the regular crowd, but we talked about them, so it was all good. LOL. We killed it too, after sending a plate (well, bowl, actually) to the favorite daughter.

Tonight was Rigatoni with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Tuna. I know - it doesn't sound too exciting to some (okay, most), but I thought it was really good! It called for red pepper flakes, which I didn't have, so I subbed Cheyenne Pepper. It had a nice little kick to it, but not too much. The recipe also called for a wedge of lemon to squeeze over all. I thought that was a little odd, but it made all the difference. Responses ranged from 'okay', to 'well, the pasta is good'. I thought it was pretty darn good myself. French bread and a Cheesecake sampler balanced it all. Yum! (I passed on the cheesecake - yay, me!)

The dog really wanted to try it, but I thought the Cheyenne might be a little much.

Next week, I'm contemplating a repeat of the Roasted Salmon Stuffed with Spinach and Feta, Lamb Chops (that's GOING TO HAPPEN one of these days) or Sweet Potato & Carmelized Onion Stuffed Shells. I might just have to buy a couple more cookbooks, too...I need fresh ideas. (There are still plenty of "Old Dominion Cooks for the Salvation Army" cookbooks left, too - only $10! :-)) I'd really like to try more vegetarian dishes in coming weeks, too.

Til next time,
