The Week That Was

I made a fresh, easy, favorite summer meal.

And you can too!

Throw some olive oil in a pot. And then add a bunch of freshly pressed garlic cloves. But cook them on low! Garlic burns quickly. Add some tiny tomatoes. Best if they are from a garden! And let them cook down together while you stir every now and then.

Meanwhile, boil some water and add some pasta. You can add salt to the water. But I never do. I know! The horror!!! My dad loved thin spaghetti. So do I.

Have your kids shred some Parmesean and chop some freshly clipped basil while you watch the stove. And then drain the pasta, throw it all together, and enjoy!

I dressed and went out this week. 

First time since my procedure!

And the remainder of the week, I tried to remember to do as much of this as I could. 

For my Catholic friends, tomorrow is The Feast of The Assumption. My favorite feast day of the year. A priest told me years ago that this is the perfect day to bring special intentions to Mary and ask her intercession. Each year, I leave a few special intentions at her feet, including a happy, healthy school year.

Well, that is it from here, my friends. I hope you are well, safe, cozy, and happy. Enjoy your weekend the way you do. Thanks for visiting!
