Yet Another Post Sans-Camera

Still no camera guys - and I so desperately want to show you $1.50! To any of you knitting this sweater, my #1 piece of advice is ERROR ON THE SIDE OF SMALL. I didn't think this would close, but I am so glad I went with my instinct and kept it on the fitted side.

Tonight I will finally get to Matt's camera and upload. Promise.

Let see what else have I been doing.... knitting (cotton ease), gardening (tomatos + basil), drinking wine (Trader Joe's namesake Chardonnay - yummy!), golfing (twisting my ankle), cooking (see recipe below), longing for vacation, attempting to adjust to summer hours (can't believe I'm writing this at 6am). Also, starting to get super-antsy about the house getting done:


The wind is blowing in a very non-flattering direction in this photo - I swear I'm not with child!Also note twisted ankle. Only I would incure an injury on a low-impact golf course.
In absence of any real knitting content, here's a new recipe I made up last night:

Basil-Shrimp Pasta in Pink Sauce
2 cups (uncooked) small-tube pasta
1 cup TJ's Pomodoro Sauce
1 cup Chardonnay
3/4 cup Mini Salad Shrimp, frozen
4 T. Light Whipping Cream
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 T. Minced Parsley
1 t. Red Pepper Flakes
8 large basil leaves, cut into strips
Fresh Parm. for shaving

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside

Heat wine in a large skillet w/ garlic, parsley, and red pepper. Bring to a simmer. Add Shrimp (still frozen), and stir until shrimp soften, about 3 minutes. Add Pomodoro Sauce, Cream, and Basil. Stir until heated through.

Add pasta and stir again to re-warm pasta. Serve in bowls with shaved Parm. I suggest adding a tangy green-salad and Chardonnay.

Makes about 4 main-course servings.

ENJOY!
