On the way home from shopping for groceries I accidentally ran a red light, and two cops happened to follow me most of the way home.

Cooking when I got here made me feel better, helped ameliorate the totally unnecessary adrenaline poisoning from seeing the police cars in my Camry’s rear view mirror.

Here is a recipe I want to remember:

In a saucepan, try frying some diced onion, sweet peppers, mushrooms, garlic and tomato in a little too much olive oil. Add a small can of tomato paste, vegetable stock, salt, crushed black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Then almost fill the pan with vegetable broth and a box of Orzo and simmer on low heat until the Orzo is done cooking – don’t let it burn or stick. To add protein, try garbanzo beans. For fun, a handful of spinach. Enjoy with parm.
