YIPPY – We WON!
Submitted by admin on Wednesday, 9 April 20086 Comments
We entered the Desperation Dinner contest over at Chowhound last month. Our entry was our Roasted Garlic and Flat Leaf Parsley Pasta, because ” We keep three fresh herbs in the kitchen, in a vase on the counter at all times–Basil, Cilantro and Flat Leaf Parsley. Whenever you are in a pinch for a quick meal, or some extra added flavor or maybe a little bit of garnish to your dish., you have it. As well, we always have garlic, shallots and yellow onions on hand–you can do so much with them!!”
While we did not get 1st place with our Desperation Dinner, we did get Honorable Mention – check it out!
Congratulations!
It’s usually always the simple dishes that get the recognition and to get people drooling! We can taste all the flavors in your dish already, mmmm….
Congrats! and we’re sure you’ve got many more awards to come!
I think if you can make a good, simple dish of pasta with quality olive oil, fresh herbs and cheese – you’ve got it made.
Having fresh herbs at the ready in your kitchen is an amazing thing. When I finally started to do that, my life improved *dramatically*
Great job on your award – alors, bravo!
Thanks everyone! Pure luck … had no intentions of being a winner at all!
Congratulations! One of my favorite side dishes is just buttered pasta with assorted herbs. Usually I throw in a little bit of everything from the garden: basil, cilantro, parsley, chives, mint and oregano. Yum!
[...] By the time we got home we were pretty hungry, after-all, I only ate cookies all day. The cupboards were pretty much bare except for these few dinner options – some uncooked orecchiette, broccoli, onions, garlic, Parmesan, and garlic. Usually when left with these options I make a Chez Us standby, Pasta with Parsley and garlic. [...]
