Fast Food My Way !

Posted By Joel on August 28, 2009

The odds were surely stacked against me. It was already getting late when I arrived back home from a long cycling ride, tired, sweaty, crazy hungry, not feeling like performing a full out assault at the stove top, and eating alone. Did I mention crazy hungry?

A reconnaissance mission to the refrig turned up leftover grilled chicken sausages with peppers and onions. We’re in business !

7 minutes later I had perfectly cooked pasta ready to roll, married it with the chicken sausages / peppers / onions, added a bit of extra virgin olive oil and grated pecorino.

To drink: a good bottle of Chianti Rufina from last night is still drinking well.

Done. Grabbed a book, and dined in peace and quiet.

There are definitely times when a commitment to eating and drinking well will challenge me. If I keep the habit, though, I always have odds and ends around to make something tasty when the going gets tough !
