Oh man, I love the Olympics. They always make me teary.

Recipe: Pasta and Tomatoes

This isn't a recipe so much as a list of ingredients. It's one of those things that really shouldn't be attempted except with fresh summer tomatoes. (There are a whole bunch of tomato sauces that can be made in winter. This just isn't one of them.) But right now, when the tomatoes are ripe and available and perfect, it's really good. (Assuming you like fresh tomatoes.)

It's also dead easy, and requires almost no actual cooking (just the pasta itself), so it's great if you're feeling lazy and/or the kitchen is really hot.

My Olympics viewing has not lead to many brilliant thoughts. My commentary is sort of like:

Men's swimming: "Oh my god, he's so fast."
Women's swimming: "Oh my god, she's so fast, too."
Men's gymnastics: "Oh my god, he's so strong. And flexible. And hot."

So. (I'm going to have to go looking online for equestrian and fencing, my favorite events. I'm also pretty fond of track & field, but that's usually fairly easy to find on TV.)

We did epic shopping today -- got a DVD organizer (finally), a bookshelf for my cookbooks (also finally), and new headphones for me (just call me Cora, Destroyer of Headphones, Audiobane). Very productive. Then I made pork stir-fry for dinner. ...And I am now exhausted. whee.

Sleep soon.
