Adventure Begins in the Kitchen

Spaghetti? Sort Of…

May 10, 2010 by foodfash

A few weeks ago, a friend suggested a spaghetti squash recipe she made post kicking butt at the Boston Marathon.  I raided her leftovers and knew I’d give it a shot.

After a weekend of birthday/mother’s day glutton, I was craving something veggieful.  And subbing a meal’s primary starch with a veggie?  Well, that sounded right about where I wanted to be.  I scribbled down the ingredients and B-lined it to the market on my way home from the office.

My excitement for the recipe grew as I realized my basket was only lacking two ingredients and I hadn’t yet left the produce department.  And feta and kalamatas?  I barely had to brush the processed aisles to scoop those up!
This dish was a delightful main course, but could also be served along side a lean meat for a more “complete” meal.

Side Note:  Tastes even better chilled the next day.

Olive Juice (I Love You)

If it were possible for one week to be longer than another, I would say this week is the longest in history.  It could be that this week is sandwiched between Superbowl Sunday and my much awaited trip to DC.  Or maybe time is following the lead of winter storms and defying scientific reason and history all the same.
With that said, my Wednesday night was a progression of running Bayshore and dinner, to running Bayshore and dinner and red wine, to running Bayshore and dinner and dirty martinis.  And although this site is typically focused on the healthy approach, a mid-slowest week ever-martini IS fashion meeting function.
A “good” dirty martini has always seemed like an impossible homemade task.  And finding a good dirty martini at a place that serves blue cheese stuffed olives is luck just short of winning the lottery.
It turns out that my dirty martini can kick a restaurant martini’s butt.  It also turns out, a good homemade dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives is comparable to winning the lottery as you save approximately 10 bucks per drink!
Martini – Dirty and Good:
Fresh Blue Cheese
Spanish Olives sans Pimentos, the bigger the better
Ketel One Vodka
Spanish Olive Brine
