Do you like easy crock pot ideas? How about this...
Tortellini Crock Pot Meal:
1 bag tortellini
2 cans Italian style diced tomatoes (the ones with roasted garlic and basil
are good!)
4 cups vegetable broth
1 package cream cheese
1 bag fresh spinach
Put all ingredients in crock pot, chunking up the cream cheese, and cook on
low for 5 hours.
If you wanted, you could also add in some cooked shredded chicken, or
un-cooked and cut into bite sized pieces.
Last night I watched my Patriots beat the Falcons. They had matched up at
the Super Bowl and the Patriots were trailing by 25 points in the 3rd quarter
and made an astounding recovery and won by 34-28 in overtime. Last night they
won by 23-7. I noticed that the broadcast did not include the beginning with the
National Anthem. I guess they don't want to record kneeling players!!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr............. Fortunately that is not my Tommy, as he stands,
hand on heart, and shows respect. I wanted to see who was kneeling, but that
didn't happen. Here are the rest of the scores....
Glad to see the Giants loss, sad about the Broncos, happy about the 9ers
loss, glad Suz & Phil's Bears won, Packers are struggling with Aaron Rogers
being injured, sad for Olga and Kristen's Jets but Alex's Dolphins did good. Ok,
enough football!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Monday. Ciao.

National Boston Cream Pie Day
Celebrate National Boston Cream Pie Day! A French chef named Sanzian
invented Boston cream pie in 1856. He worked at the Parker House Hotel in
Boston, Massachusetts, which is also where the Parker House roll
originated.
In 1996, Boston cream pie became the official dessert of Massachusetts in
a bill sponsored by Norton High School. This bill defeated both Indian Pudding
and Toll House cookies as the state's official dessert. Boston cream pie is now
also a popular doughnut, coffee, and ice cream flavor.
Although it is called a pie, Boston cream pie is actually a cake. It
consists of two round layers of sponge cake with a thick vanilla custard
filling. It is usually frosted with a chocolate glaze but it can also be topped
with confectionary sugar. The dessert is served in wedges just like a pie. Enjoy
a big slice today to celebrate National Boston Cream Pie
Day!
