Where to start??

This week has been kind of hectic. Teaching yoga on Monday night (which went great - the best class so far in my opinion) and my cooking class on Tuesday night left me exhausted and so yesterday I came straight home after work and had a nap, which was fantastic.

Let's start with my cooking class. We learned all about tomatoes and pasta the Italian way. We cooked up some linguine and some tomato sauce as well as an oil and garlic sauce. That was the first course. We also made baguettes which we then shaped epis-style... so easy to do!
You just need scissors! Then we rolled out some pasta dough and made tortollonis, which are just giant tortollinis. We filled them with a prawn and leek mixture and topped it all off with a delicious cream sauce with smoked salmon.
To finish off, we made biscotti. Very good.

Last night I couldn't decide what to make for dinner. I didn't really feel like doing much, but wanted to use up a bunch of stuff in the fridge. Finally I decided to make a pizza - I even made the dough! It was very tasty and we had enough leftovers for my lunch today and tomorrow. What kind of pizza? Well I roasted some grape tomatoes and some garlic, mixed up some brie and cambozola and shmeared it on top of the sauce. Sliced up some red onion and some bacon to add some smokiness. Topped it off with some fontina and mozzarella cheese. Delicious!
Mind you, we didn't eat till 9, but that's alright, just in time for Lost!

And what a fantastic show it was last night... one of the best so far in the season I'd have to say. I wish I could go live in a tropical jungle for a while. Not a crazy island like the one these people are stranded on, but just a regular jungle, with lots of fruit trees and coconut palms and fish in the sea. :)

Today on my way home from work I stopped at Capers for some groceries. I parked right in front and as I was putting my helmet in the trunk the lady in the SUV behind me came up and asked me to move. "You know it's just one spot and not two right?" What's your problem lady? I'm driving a scooter! She didn't think she'd be able to get out because of where I'd parked. I kindly told her that it's never really been a problem before, while silently wondering what kind of terrible driver she must be if the 3-4 feet on either side of her car wasn't enough room for her to manoever out. I moved the scooter over about a foot and she seemed satisfied. I didn't really give her a chance to complain any more.

I got a bunch of stuff to make up some dinners to take with us to Tofino this weekend. They had a bunch of stuff on sale.... (when Capers has sales, the deals are really good) How about kettle chips for $1.75 per bag?? I bought one of every flavour. :)

Now I'm just waiting for the delivery guy to arrive. For anyone who is interested, it is only $3 for home delivery from Capers, $6 from Safeway. Going to make some enchiladas for dinner, some for tonight, some to bring with us. And then Survivor!

Tomorrow I've got a chemical safety workshop all day and then I'll teach my 2nd to last yoga class before coming home for some lasagna (which I'll also make tonight) with Chris and Mel. Dinner and packing for our trip to Tofino... sounds like a great Friday night. :) We'll leave bright an early Saturday morning, and then won't be back till Tuesday evening. Have a great weekend!
