Today is class 2 of 6 classes.  I did my homework yesterday so I'll be ready to learn a new square today.  I just love working with the fabric colors and deciding what goes with what.  I enjoy that so much that I just pretend I like to iron and sew.

I had a meeting with a new client this week and I'lll be cooking for them tomorrow.  They too seem to be very nice, besides mom and dad there are three children that we're going to count as one person for portion needs.  We'll see who eats and how much and adjust servings next time if we need to.  This is another no dairy family and they prefer to not eat soy either. 

I tried a new pasta recipe Monday night and it was excellent.  I need to remember to make it again since we really enjoyed it.  It's from Cooking Light and had so many ingredients that are favorites.  I did not have ziti pasta so used medium shells.

 Ziti with Spinach, Cherry Tomaotes and Gorgonzola Sauce from Cooking Light September 2008

Ingredients
  • 4  ounces  uncooked ziti
  • 1/2  teaspoon  extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1  cup  cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/8  teaspoon  crushed red pepper
  • 1  garlic clove, minced
  • 6  tablespoons  half-and-half
  • 3  tablespoons  Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 1  cup  fresh spinach

Preparation

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain.
  2. Heat extra-virgin olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add cherry tomatoes, salt, crushed red pepper, and minced garlic to pan; cook 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Stir in half-and-half and Gorgonzola cheese; cook 2 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring constantly. Stir in spinach and pasta; cook 1 minute or until spinach wilts, tossing occasionally.
  3. Yield 2 servings

Tonight I'm trying a new recipe for Chicken Pad Thai that I hope is good since I love Pad Thai.  No Jazzercise tonight so I have more time to cook and make a recipe that takes a little longer. 

I spent this morning getting ready for a private class that I am doing at Cook's Warehouse on Saturday.  This will be a birthday party for 8 girls and we'll be making pasta, meatballs and sundaes.  Should be fun!

I need to go pack my car now for quilt class.  I have the machine and all the stuff ready to be loaded.
