Monday, 9/26: Asparagus and Tomato Pasta

Doris and I went to the grocery store again. She really likes shopping. I find that she's like me - she loves cooking, buying, preparing food. She rode in the car shopping cart this time and told me as we were leaving "I always ride in the car at the grocery store." Too bad because I found her much less able to control that way.

I came home to quickly pull together dinner. Doris kept saying that she wanted chicken nuggets at the grocery store, so I promised her veggie nuggets for dinner. I boiled some 'butterfly' pasta with asparagus and when they were cooked, I drained the water and mixed in some chopped cherry tomatoes and half a jar of 4 cheese roma sauce.

Karen was working late so it was just Doris and I for dinner. I thought the concoction was quite tasty but Doris only ate the veggie nuggets. For some reason she wasn't into the butterfly pasta this time.

Karen brought home kit kats from her conference so I had a tasty dessert. She says I can't eat too many because they are for potty training rewards. We'll see.

Pasta: 75 cents
CSA veggies: $2
Asparagus:$3
Pasta sauce: $2
Veggie Nuggets: $3.50

Total: $11.25 ($3.75 per person)

I find that the total for each meal has been going up. Strange. I can't figure out whats different.
