So here’s what we had the other night.
I was in a hurry (read: I am lazy), so I knocked this together and, as my grandfather used to say, we were just as happy as if we’d had a full meal.
That’s penne pasta, bottled chunky garden spaghetti sauce, and shaved Italian cheese. Mixed olives in the bowl. Bread spread with garlic olive oil and toasted under the broiler.
I do love Italian men. Food. I meant food.
A WRITING PROMPT FOR YOU: A character has to knock together a meal in a hurry with what he or she has on hand. Does it work or not?
