Valentine's Day is upon us and instead of my beautifully planned stuffed mushrooms and macaroni with Gruyere, I had corn chips and salsa. I just didn't have time to be nice to my self today and was too pooped to cook anything, much less something amazing. But, there is a light in the Valentine's vortex of singledom. My co-workers hooked me up today with kitchen swag! First let me preface the gifts with this fun fact, I've had a dented can of garbanzo beans on my desk for about a month. Every day, I look at the can and wish that I had some magical tool to open it, every day, nothing but empty wishes. Today, one of the girls presented me with a can opener for my can o' beans, to be used solely for work based opening issues. I was elated, but decided that the can looked rusty and could not chance a case of on the job botulism so, am saving the can opener for a cleaner and less fatal lunch. My next gift was a red rubber spatula, a baking scraper, and.....a mortar and pestle! That's right, the blog fairy answered my call, now I can crush things to my heart's content, spices, herbs, garlic, maybe grind some corn, who knows? My first experiment with this lovely tool will be Pesto and I have already found the perfect recipe, Asparagus Pesto with pasta! This, I will add to my original V-day meal, which will now be a post V-day creation, tomorrow night. Today was a great day and I can't wait to share my new pulverized creations with everyone Happy Valentine's Day!
