What is Insanity? Spending a winter in the Great Plains of the US

Mushrooms, Red Onions, Green,Yellow and Red Peppers Sautéed in Grape Seed Oil

The Great Plains are being battered by the first blast of arctic air of the New Year. Do I care – not a bit, as I am ready. I’ve got ample provisions and planned contingencies.

Kalamata Olives and Quartered Artichoke Hearts

After my tour of the feedlot yesterday, I am thankful for both heating and plumbing – those poor cattle will endure -15 F degree temperatures tonight.

Me – I am having healthy pasta and light entertainment tonight – the new Marco Polo on Netflix juxtaposed with Season 5 of the Sopranos!

I had one last pound of hamburger in the freezer, and in spite my aversion to beef I did not want to contribute to the 40% of the food that America throws out routinely – so I made meatballs in burgundy. Sautéed mushrooms, onions, red, green and yellow peppers in grape oil. Added ripe olives and quartered artichokes – and of course a little pasta and sauce.

All of the Above Mixed Together Lacking Only the Pasta and Red Wine

Unfortunately this is infinitely better than the crap served in most “Italian” restaurants in the US.
