Happy New Year!
May our new year be full of blessings!
Today’s
Recipe and Location: Pasta
Puttanesca
Found
in: The Pioneer Woman blog
This
recipe was quite unique. It had a lot of tomatoes and olives and even
anchovies. It is an interesting mix of ingredients, but when you see the pasta
it just calls to be tasted. According to Websters, the owrd puttanesca means: “served
with or being a pungent tomato sauce typically containing olives, garlic,
capers, hot pepper, and sometimes anchovies.”
Random Reflections
Over
break, I was reading the Chronicle from Friday, December 19th. I was
surprised to see an article about Amy Roloff. She is the wife on the reality
show called “Little People, Big World.” I loved the fact that she was
volunteering at the Northern Illinois Food Bank in Geneva. The reporter claimed
that she was just another volunteer and didn’t expect “star treatment.” I wish
I had met her.
Irksome Ideas and Images
One
of my pet peeves is letting a door slam in the face of another person. At
school, my classroom door is almost always shut. As the kids enter, I
frequently have to remind them to be polite, and not let the door slam into the
next kid.
I
cannot blame kids alone for this infraction. I have encountered many an adult
who does the same thing. All I can
do is remind the kids to be thoughtful, and think of it as an act of kindness.
