FYI: Barilla pasta sauces, particularly the mushroom & garlic, and the sweet pepper & garlic, are yum.

FYI 2: When you are cooking for more than one person, always go ahead and make the whole box of spaghetti. You can always eat up leftovers; there is no graceful way to make more spaghetti when you discover that - surprise! - your ex-colleague's 6-foot husband is a hearty eater.

I had my former colleague and her husband over for dinner, as they're moving to Boston on Tuesday and are deep in packing!hell, and I though "what better way to get them out of packing!hell for a while than to feed them?" So I did. Just spaghetti and salad and bought sauce, but I made strawberry shortcake for dessert, and that was a big hit. I got the sweetest, most luscious organic strawberries at the farmer's market this am, and this afternoon I made biscuits, and after dinner I whipped cream to pour over the biscuits and strawberries and it. was. good.

Now I have lots of dishes to do, but otherwise the areas of my apartment that are not my bedroom are very clean, which is nice.
