Still Here...

Really. *sigh* I miss thee, internet! But, only 6.5 months to go before the indentured servitude is over and I can flee.

Of course, if I get myself fired, I don't owe back relocation. This has possibilities.

So, here's something I whipped together the other night when the heat index hit 115 and the thought of cooking was just too much to bear.

2 handfulls egg noodles
1 t butter
1/4 t garlic powder
1/4 t onion powder
~1/2 c chopped fresh mozzerilla (the marinated kind)
~1/2 c sugar sweet grape tomatoes, halved

Cook eggs noodles on the stove and drain. Toss in butter, garlic powder and onion powder. Stir well. Put chopped cheese and tomatoes into a pasta bowl. Drop cooked noodles over it, and toss/stir. Add salt and pepper to taste.

And if you need a cocktail to take the edge off...

Fill a tall glass with ice. Fill about 1/4 of the glass with pineapple rum, about 2/3 of the remaining space with orange juice and then top with cranberry juice. Stir and enjoy.

Happy summer, everyone!
