Some of you may wonder if pasta is outdoor food, but yes, it is, since the wheat to make the pasta is grown outdoors.
So are sloppy joes and corn, which we ate while watching the Vikings game today. Yikes they were good .What a satisfying game. I might even venture so far as to say Childress may be a good coach. Now what to do about the cheerleader that the gophers hired for a football coach. Sloppy joes and corn are not as good when you eat them with that football team.
Tubby is another story. Watch Blake Hoffarber, the freshman from Hopkins(my alma mater), as the Gopher mens' basketball team wins some games this year. Hoffarber was the guy who, remember, sank a basket from on his back as the final millisecond ticked off the clock in the big school state basketball finals two years ago. His shot was a worldwide ESPN highlight. He got 14 pts off the bench for the Gophers last night. Foie gras(tough as butter, succulent) may be on the menu sooner than we think.
Back to the pasta. You may recall that we had penne w/ red sauce last night. We had leftovers( do you ever cook just the right amount of pasta?), but didn't want to eat the same thing tonight. Here's a way to feed the fickle and the fussy. Make an alfredo sauce -melted butter and flour to make a roux, add milk,chicken stock( bouillon cube) salt, pepper, garlic, parmesan cheese. Fettucine alfredo for the kids. Bolognese for the adult(me). Bolognese is when you have red sauce on pasta and then add a white sauce(alfredo)on top of the red sauce.It is a wonderful combination, the best of two worlds. Salud! Game on! Works w/ any red sauce, w/ any pasta.
