Back to work!
Things are starting to feel more normal, but the horror stories are still trickling in. Stories of people crushed by trees or drowned in their own garage. A few of my friends are displaced from their homes, and will be for quite some time. Chez LVP, we’re continually counting our lucky stars to have made it through this storm without a scratch.
We’ve been eating a lot of soup this past week, and while soup is the perfect comfort food, we were pretty tired of it. I still wanted to make something with a lot of veggies, so I sautéed broccoli, carrots and snow peas with the flesh of a baked spaghetti squash. Look at that pile!
This is my “Are you really taking a photo right now?!” face.
The dish: Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai. We garnished it with peanuts, dried coconut, and chili flakes.
It was good, but we all thought it might have been a little better with some kind of peanut sauce on top. (B ate his leftovers with Thai peanut sauce my mom picked up from Pure Thai Shophouse, and said it was better.)
I finished Dark Places yesterday, which I liked, but not as much as Sharp Objects. Gillian Flynn is definitely a major talent, though, and Gone Girl is a (twisted) masterpiece. I read that Amy Adams might be starring in the film adaptation of Dark Places!
In other terrifying news, my mom has started texting.
Watch out, world.
Do you like spaghetti squash? I do, but not when it tries to be something else. If someone hands me a plate of squash with cheese and tomato sauce I’m not going to call it “pasta,” but can appreciate it as a vegetable.
Time to get my vote on!
