I just whipped up a right tasty dinner and all the ingredients came from Trader Joe's. \:\)

1 bag fusilli pasta (the corkscrew kind)
1 pint mixed chopped carrots, celery, onion
1 jar tomato basil marinara sauce
1 package (of 4) sweet bell pepper and onion chicken sausages
a few sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

In a large pan, I glogged in a little EV olive oil and sauteed the chopped veggies. I added salt, pepper, basil, oregano, and a good dose of smoked paprika. When the veggies were soft and starting to stick to the bottom, I added the tomato sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, and the sliced sausages, then stirred and covered it.

When the pasta was done cooking, I drained it and then combined it with the sauce.

I'm eating it now topped with shredded cheese and washing it down with Fat Weasel Ale.

All in all, a very satisfying meal, and I've got leftovers to last a couple days.

Did I mention I'm a bachelor until the end of the month?

Odd, I too come up with the best meals when I am a bachelor for any period of time that my wife is traveling. Last week I came up with the best maple vinaigrette salad dressing ever, but it was one of those, just keep adding stuff till it tastes right, things and now I can no longer replicate the recipe exactly.

You're welcome any day of the week medic8r. I need to get some painting done (80% of the upstairs), but other than that, my schedule is open. \:\)

Sweet!

I know you are joking, but Peter and I are planning our next official meet-up on Oct 2-3, for a concert Thursday night, extending the party into the weekend.

Check the airfare around those dates.

What's the concert? Maybe Tom and I will crash it.

Or maybe we'll go to our OWN concert.

Neener-Neener.
