Saturday June 11 - Dinner plans?

[Alix]

Well, an impromptu visit and shopping trip meant that we had burgers for dinner and that was it. I guess tomorrow will be something more labor intensive. C'est la vie.

Mark is out of town, and if he is hungry, I'll make him a hotdog. I took out some baby shrimp from the freezer. I'll do something with that, if I have the patience to peel them. I just got done doing some cleaning and I'm pooped.

A pancake and an egg.

OK

Let's see... I sautéed some sliced smoked kielbasa and onion in a little EVOO (non-stick pan). Then when they got some color I added some frozen stir-fry veggies, because that's what I had, some chopped garlic and a chopped chipotle pepper. Turned the heat down, put the lid on and let the veggies thaw and warm up.
When the ingredients were all cooked, I added some cheddar cheese, Monterrey jack and some mozzarella (because I wanted cheese strings on my fork ) and a little milk & butter. The heat was as low as it could go here. I kept folding and stirring until the cheese was melted. Then I folded in the cooked pasta.

That's pretty much it. I didn't measure anything, but if I had to guess, I'd say I used 8 oz of cheese to 1/2c of milk and 2 TBS butter.
