I'm sick.
There's nothing worse than a nasty head cold -- your nose gets clogged, your head is foggy, and, worst of all, your throat gets raw, red, and sore. It hurts to swallow, a miserable sentence for any food-lover, and it's hard to get excited about eating anything. The Pasta Burner had the cold before me -- she brought it back from California, along with her sister, who's staying with us for a little while. (We're much happier to have the sister hanging around than the cold.)
Because I'm sick, I've been banned from cooking anything. It's a good policy, for sure, but it leaves this blog quiet, and keeps me away from the kitchen, my favorite room in the house. The Pasta Burner and her sister have been taking good care of me, and they were nice enough to whip up a fantastic recipe for this week's post.
