pappardelle or something other

Some time ago, my parents and I were watching TV.  A Chatelaine commercial came on and this lovely pasta dish flashed across the screen.  It looked so damn good, I had to find the recipe.  So here it is: roasted-tomato pappardellaliwjfeaklsdfasklle.  I can never remember how to spell this type of pasta.  I also don't know how to pronounce it.

A lot of blogs give you information about the ingredients that go into the dish.  So, in an attempt to class up my blog posts, here is some information on the pappardelawoeifasllle noodle.  It is a flat noodle.  Made of....flour, let's say.  And I suppose some egg, since that was on the front of the package.  The pappardellewhatchamacallit was presented in little nests.  I thought they wouldn't be enough.  But don't be fooled - these bad boys explode when you boil them!  Two nests was definitely enough for one person - very filling!

Okay, so here's the recipe.  You have your noodle thingy, cherry or grape tomatoes, orange juice (ya, i know, shocker - but a very key part of the recipe!), and herbed goat cheese.  And olive oil, and salt and pepper.  And I'm sure you could add other stuff like chilli Flakes.  But, I feel like this recipe is best kept simple.  

You read the recipe in the link above, you follow the instructions, and voila!  Roasted Tomato Pappapskfejioafdfnwepapernoodle!  

The dish with the noodles I cannot pronounce.  Nor spell.

I thought it was really tasty.  For a pasta-ish dish, it's actually kinda light.  But still very filling.  And it was easy, so that's a bonus!

We also grilled up some vegetables to eat on the side.  Actually, I'm not sure if we ate these grilled vegetables on the same day as the pappafwelkflle, but I had a picture of it, so I'm posting it.  Olive oil, salt, pepper, grill.  Done!

Here we have asparagus, eggplant, and zucchini.  

There we have it.  A bientot!

Food I ate in May and probably in June

It's been faaaaaaaar too long since I last wrote something.  Sorry :(  But here's why:  it's because I'm lazy.


So here's a quick update of some food things I've eaten in the past few weeks.


After my brother's eye got better (his retina detached, poor guy - he's all better now!), we went to celebrate at a new Korean restaurant in Richmond Hill.  It... suuuuccckkkeeed.  Hence, the restaurant will not be named, because I don't want to get sued for something I write on the Internet.  Okay, it didn't suck that badly, but it definitely wasn't as good as other Korean BBQ places I've been.  In any case, the food presentation was nice, and is sure to make Evan jealous of my whereabouts.


We had bulgogi (korean bbq of some sort) on the grill and in a soup-y kind of thing.  

On the grill.  Note how small these pieces are.  So sad.

This is my cool before and after picture.  The top portion is raw; when cooked, it turns in to this soupy thing with mushrooms and green onion and peppers and other good stuff.

Kay, moving on to another point in the past.  There's this really good breakfast restaurant chain called Cora's that started in Quebec.  They make really good food, though it is kinda pricey.  In any case, I got this french toast with fruit on it and it was pretty dece!

French toast with fruit thing from Cora's.

While my brother was still recovering from his eye injury, my friend and I saw this recipe on Pinterest to make popsicles with fresh fruit.  So we bought a cheap popsicle set and some fruit and boom!  Popsicles.

Popsicles.  Well, I guess it's just a popsicle.

June 1 weekend is the best weekend in Pickering.  For the past few years, we've had ribfest roll into town, and it's the one event I get most excited for in our little suburban town.  There really isn't much that goes on, or at least not much that I get way excited for.  And if ribs and other fried food are gonna set up shop at City Hall, then yes, I will be there.

My friend and I have made this an annual tradition.  We usually get a half rack of ribs each and share to see who made the better purchase.  I also usually get a bloomin' onion too.  Mmmmmm :)

Ever since I moved to C-dot Hill, I've missed the frozen yogurt from Yogen Fruz.  From what I understand, Yogen Fruz is a company from Toronto that makes frozen yogurt (duh).  They have these yogurt bars that they mash together with fresh fruit of your choosing.  So it's not quite as tart as the fro yo I like in Chapel Hill, but it tastes just like the fruits you put in it!  ...because they put fruit in it... yeah.  anyways.  It's good.    

Yogen Fruz.  Hooray! :)

That's about it from me.  I have more things to post about.  But I shall have to do that later because my poor doggies haven't had dinner yet. :(  Poor guys.  I'm a bad sister.  

Byeeeeeeeeee! :)
