Today I ran my butt off! I covered a lot of Northwest Ohio today. I knew today was going to be crazy, so I planned an easy dinner. I also got up really early today, Bubba needed to bring his drum set for the Camp show tomorrow. Brian bought bagels over the weekend, so I split the last one between them & brought it to them in their beds for breakfast.
I dropped them at camp and off I went. I stopped at Sam's Club on my way back to replace my atomic clock sensor. I think a raccoon ran off with it-it is gone!
I also got this while there
I know, I know, I could totally make this myself from tea bags & I did make some like that recently-lemon blueberry-it was delicious! But geez, I am constantly thirsty and I was spending a fortune on those Sobe zeros. This was 5 dollars and yields 14 pitchers! And frankly, I'm lazy. Its honestly not the worst thing in the world-the ingredient list in very short & I can actually pronounce everything.

While I was making dinner, D came in with these for me! How sweet is he? Aren't they pretty?!

Ok, so I've been thinking about tonight's dinner since yesterday. I was a little nervous it wouldn't be good. I was so wrong. A few days ago I picked my basil plant clean & made pesto. I made it in the BlendTec instead of the food processor because I really didn't feel like digging thru boxes looking for all the parts. The BlendTec does too good a job & there is no 'graininess' to the pesto at all. It still tastes the same though and that's all the matters.

I planned a simple meal, of course. Penne, which was in the pantry, with pesto & cannellini beans & corn. It may not be the prettiest, but oh my, it was good. The corn was so sweet.

Wait for the both the pesto and corn to make a reappearance this week. That's all for me till tomorrow. Have a great night!
