My Gran's ace. I'm staying with her whilst I train to trim hoofs. Not every eighty something-year-old is happy to have a 30 odd year old youth living with them (youth is a relative term- I've no wife, kids, house, still listen to my music too loud and drink too much :¬)
Tonight after work, it was my turn to cook (she usually does, and loves it too). My meals tend to be pasta based- time is of the essence. So after Lee showed me his new drill (it's a man thing powertools: his is a Hilti from Lichtenstein- the best you can buy- it's for putting bolts into cliffs for climbing http://www.hilti.co.uk/holuk/modules/prcat/prca_popupproductpic.jsp?OID=29657 ) it was time to cook.
Anyway, I did my usual, but tonight's was particularly tasty, so I thought I'd share the ingredients with y'all:
Cheese and tomato tortellini
fried in olive oil:
I large red onion
4 cloves of garlic
8 cherry tomatos
1 dozen pimento olives
splash of chilli and lemon olive oil
spoon full of pesto
squeeze of lime
splash of merlot
Few leaves of fresh basil
Coarse black pepper
Takes about 20 mins to prepare. The rest of the Merlot went down well ;¬)
