Shocked & Appalled

Random rants

New favorite meal

1. Make spaghetti.

2. Saute onions or shallots (whichever I have) in olive oil.

3. Mix in defrosted frozen artichoke hearts. This is my new find -- I love artichokes, but dealing with them is sort of a pain, just to get a heart. The marinated ones are ok, but recently I found that you can get unmarinated, frozen ones. Delish!

4. Pour spaghetti into onion, artichoke mix, stir around to coat.

5. Top with salt and chopped walnuts.

It's sooooooo good. The sweetness in the walnuts and onions brings out the sweet in the artichokes, and the walnuts add a good crunch.

I am old

I made an "I choose me" joke at work, and the 20-somethings just stared at me blankly.
