Hey hey it's FRIDAY!!

Well hope you all got good things planned for this weekend? Cooking and cleaning or drinking and partying, well whatever you do enoy it!

The weather is unbelievable again in CT today, can't see this lasting however, reckon it's the lull before the storm, but hey we will enjoy it while it lasts!

I went to Fruit and Veg city today, and I have to say without sounding like a full on snob, "there are funny people" in that shop, oh yeh, very funny, I have no idea where they come from? However, when you look past the funny people and look for the delicious fruit and vegies one see's past them all!

I made delicious pasta last evening with a brown mushroom and ham sauce, so easy to prepare, so I wanted to share this with you.

Take the white sauce recipe that I have on the blog, and then saute in butter and a drop of oil lovely chunky sliced brown mushrooms till they are cooked, then add in sliced ham that you have cut into pieces. For a variation which is also tasty, one can fry up thos bacon lardons and substitute the ham, or use both.

If you enjoy onion and garlic, then fry the freshly crushed garlic with the onions first, add in the mushrooms and the meat and then add this all into your creamy white sauce.

A few Tablespoons of Parmesan enhances the sauce, and extra parmesan and loads of ground black pepper are a must on the table.

GARLIC BREAD: (remember shiny side in of the foil) Buy a bagguette or loaf of delicious bread, slice it through into slices and butter inbetween each slice generously with your garlic and herb butter.

Butter
Loads fresh garlic cloves
fresh parsley
fresh thyme
fresh rosemary

Another variation which is very rich is salami, cheese and paprika put inbetween the slices and baked in the oven wrapped in foil till crispy on the outside and warm and melted on the inside.

Hopefuly we are of to movies tonight, can't wait for a big popcorn and a slush!

Enjoy the weekend
