It was a busy day at the hospital and the thought of going to a proposed party was not too exciting on this chilly New Year's Eve. Rather, a warm fire and my feet up to a good book or dvd sounded better. But first, dinner. Shouldn't it be something rather special on this last night of the year? More Christmas leftovers didn't sound too great.
So I looked around. To start with I noticed some leftover toasted Ramon noodles from a previous salad. And half a bag of mini fully cooked shrimp in the freezer. A box of pasta. A wee bit of asiago cheese. A small can of mushroom pieces. Spinach leaves and salad fixings. And, to top it off, some tomato bruschetta.
The shrimp, mushrooms, bruschetta, and cheese joined pasta laced with olive oil. The ramon noodles topped it at the table. A crisp salad and a tall glass of water rounded out what became a splendid
meal, getting very near to gourmet.
It was sort of like a treasure hunt that happened to work out well. Oh yes, some candlelight only helped the tastebuds even more.
Happy New Year!
I enjoyed my visit here today.Here on Prince Edward Island we are in the middle of a blizzard so instead of scurrying around getting dinner for our planned New Year event that had to be postponed I am visiting lovely blogs as the snow flies and the wind howls.
