Weather ~ Medford In The Rain ~ Tortellini w/ Asparagus & Lemon ~ Dee Yellin ~ Laura & Conrad ~ My Tortellini Recipe ~ Limericks

 

Good 43º cloudy morning.

 

Maybe rain... got a few sprinkles yesterday... predictions for the whole week:

First thing yesterday it was off to Medford to have my yearly boobie smash at Women's Imaging next to Rogue Valley Medical Center. The nurses who work there are sooooooooooo nice. They make it easier.

I was going to go to Harry and David's and to Trader Joe's, but not in the mood, so headed back. It rained enough to get the car spotty and take care of the last car wash!

Decided to stop at Safeway in Grants Pass

... for some asparagus, cheese tortellini, a couple lemons, dog food, canned artichoke hearts, and a couple other things.  

 

 

Yesterday was Eat What You Want Day and I said I'd like an artichoke, asparagus, and pasta. Then Taste of Home comes up with this recipe....

So, dinner was cheese tortellini, sauteéd asparagus and butter fried artichoke hearts with jalapeño olive oil, with a lemony sauce (1 lemon zested and the juice), fresh chives, and Feta cheese. Basically like the recipe above, but with artichoke hearts.... more vegetables and less pasta.

There was a big loveable dog named Dude.

If there was one thing he loved, it was his food.

Bruiser would not stay away

As he always wanted to play

But Dude was never in the mood!

There was a nutty tuxeudo cat named The Bruise

He was sometimes wound up like a fuse

He climbed all the trees

And loved Dude to tease

But boy did he love Mom's lap for a snooze!
