Friday was a pretty quiet one - I made this bomb-diggity pasta for dinner, and I’m going to share it here.

Ok, most people know my theory on pasta dishes … to make good pasta dish, you need either great sauce or great pasta. To make a great pasta dish, you need great sauce and great pasta. My meal on Friday had both.

Firstly, the pasta - I didn’t make it myself, but I did buy it myself, so that’s got to count for something. It was cheese and spinach-filled tortellini, for those keeping score.

Then the sauce - here’s what I did. I took a packet of italian sausage, and cooked them in a pan. When done, add one sliced onion and remove the sausage to slice. Return the sausage to the pan. Add mushrooms. Once softened, add tomato paste and a tin of diced tomatos. Add a handful of sliced peppers and olives. Serve over pasta with steamed green beans. :yum:

Saturday was spent entirely inside, on account of the heat. John had invited me around for dinner and Sopranos, so that was nice, even if his house was inconceivably hot. I brought ice cream, which topped of the meal perfectly. I’m a genius. :drool:

Sunday, I was up bright and early to the Gold Coast with M&D for breakfast, compliments of Accor. It was nice, Woo came along too, and we ate till we burst. Headed home via my cousin Richard’s place, where he and his wife had recently had another baby, Sarah. She was cute. Finally got home, after Woo and I, now both in our early to mid 20’s :squint: , both fell asleep in the backseat of the car.

Glara and entourage visited that afternoon, which was nice, until Lara rudely fell asleep with Charlotte on the couch. It was funny actually - Glenn’s first reaction: “Cool, let’s play board games.” We knocked out a Settlers of Catan match, where I did woefully (I think my final score was approaching 3 whole points) and they headed off. Blacky went out to old-man-Blackman’s place for tea, so I ate his left-over pizza. I enjoyed Criminal Intent and went to bed.

Ah, weekends, how glorious.

Oh - and for those keeping up-to-date with the foreign currency business, the company we ended up going with has rejected our first order, unless the customer sends a copy of their driver’s license and other such documents to them to verify the purchase. Things are never EVER easy.
