because that’s what was in my pantry – and fridge – and freezer. friends were coming by on short notice and i needed to shop from my ever abundant kitchen. anything to appease some of the guilt from being perpetually overstocked and avoid a trip to the market. so although this was pretty much a throw together kind of dinner, there was a lot of to choose from. i try and do better in this regard, but i am a serial food buyer – forever curious.
it may soon be time for another month or so of "eating down the house". it could use happening…
but i had a box of beautiful saffron pasta that had been waiting patiently to be used, and some pinky orangey skinned snapper fillets that had been bought on a whim and thrown in the freezer nearly too long ago, plus the tail end of a bag of medium frozen shrimp bought for my sweet old kitty and used as treats. he’s been gone 4 months now and it was time to finish them up. pancetta is always a staple in my freezer, and i had an onion, some garlic, the remains of a still fresh bunch of parsley, a bottle of pinot grigio and a little glass vial of saffron that i’d been hanging on to…
there’s not much here in the way of a recipe. i could get specific but it’s really unnecessary and quite frankly, i couldn’t even begin to remember. feel free to use shallots instead of onions. for the pork – you can use chorizo, bacon or italian sausage instead of pancetta. or try some dry vermouth instead of white wine. add mussels, lobster, clams… it’s all going to work together – and it’s going to be delicious.
the onion gets cooked for a few minutes in olive oil, then add some diced pancetta, followed by a few minced garlic cloves. next the wine – i used about half a bottle, then add the saffron. throw the pasta into the water and add it into the pan when it’s just barely done – al dente to the max. i cooked the fish in a smoking hot cast iron skillet, crisping the skin really well. the shrimp were thrown in at some point but i can’t recall exactly when.
regarding the saffron, i used a full half gram of hand harvested d.o. from la mancha.. a big fat pinch. i’m a more is more kinda gal. and it was wonderful. and i’d do it again. and soon.
like many of you, this is the way i cook nearly all the time. i wing it. i change things. i substitute. i was inspired by a post i saw a few weeks back and it got me thinking.
and that’s really all it ever takes…

Phil:I have no idea. I would like to think they had it pre-established by the way that they handled it, but I don’t know. They could have come up with it on the fly because who would have ever thought that would happen? You don’t expect the guy who has got a one-in-six chance of winning $100,000 to just up and leave the competition. So I think that if they had it in place they may have tweaked it a little because they had Mike Hughes out there within 12 hours of Jake quitting

There are varying degrees of severity which can include the skin between the affected digits being partially fused (incomplete syndactyly) or fully fused (complex syndactyly).
Since they always remain in public glare, it is inevitable that the life of a
celebrity is almost like an open book. To be quite honest
with you, we were never entirely convinced of the authenticity of their relationship,
but in the lead up to the competition’s final, during a press conference, Simon Cowell let slip:
“they’re just two kids in love”.

In one last scene that is particularly disturbing, he shows just how

He wrote the screenplay for “Fruitvale Station” and serves as its
director, which is a lot of pressure on the shoulders of a rookie.

Have you ever thought about including a little bit more

your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this site could certainly be one of the greatest in its field.
Very good blog!

First off I would like to say awesome blog! I had a
quick question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear
your mind prior to writing. I have had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out
there. I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like
the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying
to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Cheers!
