Have a Great Day!!

How is everyone this morning?

Look at that date....19th.! ....this month is over 1/2-way finished all ready!

What are you up to today? Anything exciting?

I have "The Helper" with today........

We have 3 places, the last one being another new call, another one with 3 kids!...gawwwwwwwwwd!

We will manage....I hope I survive!...lol

I think I have tomorrow off....that very well may change by the time I get home later today, tho.

You know I have become so accustomed to working....that I really don't know how to act IF I have time off.....I bore real easily.

The "Walk" this a.m. was really nice...the air smelled so fresh...we had some rain yesterday & during the night, it appears..

There was a mild breeze....and we saw "nuthing"!...well except for about 20 "paper-delivery-guys"!

I really don't understand how they need so many people on the highways with vehicles...delivering newspapers?

I just heard them saying that today is Jeannie C. Rileys' birthday!

She is 61.

Remember "Harper Valley PTA"?

There really isn't a whole lot to tell around here this morning so I will hunt up a recipe for today & then get on my way.

Take care & have a wonderful day, whatever you have to do.

Penne with Gorgonzola and Mascarpone

INGREDIENTS:To serve 4:

14 ounces (400 g) penne
5 ounces (120 g) Gorgonzola Dolce (the milder Gorgonzola)
3 ounces (80 g) Mascarpone (a mild, very creamy cheese)
2/5 cup (100 ml) heavy cream
1/4 cup (50 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature (it should be soft)
1 tablespoon vodka
Salt and white pepper to taste

PREPARATION:

Set pasta water to boil.

While it's heating, remove the rind from the gorgonzola and break the cheese up into little bits. Whirl the cheese in a blender, and when it is creamy add the mascarpone and the butter.

Season lightly with salt and pepper, whir again, and then add the cream and vodka. Check seasoning and lightly whir again.

Cook the pasta, gently stir the sauce into it, and serve at once.

variation:

1/2 pound (200 g) asparagus spears, or more if you want
1/4 pound (100 g) blue cheese instead of Gorgonzola

Thank you all for caring so much and to CanadianShe_Wolf�?/FONT> I have added your recipes as I receive them .love all the graphics that each of you send to me and the site ,.looks more professional I must say.

ps. I do remember the song about the Harper Valley PTA

and to think she is nearly my age ........that tune is now spinning around in my head thanks for that ..

now dont you aw'l work too hard now . I think I'm getting some americanisms in my grammar now . been doing that for some time now . we have a pastor's wife from North Carolina? in the next city to me [the ? is because I'm unsure if its north or south ]and when we meet up she always influences me on the way I speak but if I cant understand her I do ask .

When we travel, and when we talk to the "Folk of The Land"...it takes me about 15 seconds...& I am sounding just like "them"!...hehehehe

Thanks for the compliments on the posts...think it makes them "easier on the eyes"....and keeps "yer attention"...longer!

Tamarillo season is ending but love them too -made jam out of them too one year -just a little bit as they were so expensive

to them . and boy are they yummy !
