Thursday was a little warmer, but overcast in the morning.
I went to Big Boy and got the chicken Caesar salad for
lunch.
When I got home. I went out back and butchered two of my
favorite hostas and transplanted half of each one to the new tree garden.
I got all the black walnuts picked up (again) and then went
inside.
For dinner, I sliced up the remaining pound of crimini
mushrooms. I fried them in butter until they were brown and fragrant. I threw
in four cloves of minced garlic near the end.
I added two cups of heavy cream and 2/3 cup of white wine. I
tossed in some fresh thyme and chopped flat leave parsley. Then I added a cup
of vegetable broth and two tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and brought it to a
boil. I let it boil until it thickened (took about 15 minutes). I tasted it and
added salt and pepper.
When the sauce seemed ready, I added in the box of rotini
pasta I’d cooked. I mixed it well and plated it. Hmmm… Not bad!
I watched a taped show and then went to bed.
How long does the black walnut season last?

ReplyDeleteThe mushroom pasta sounded great. No pic?
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't pretty. Didn't taste bad, (nice vegetarian touch) but didn't look that great.
