What else is new, you ask? well...
1. ryan bought a motorcycle. i just cant.
2. i go to cape cod with fonzie for 3 weeks on monday!
3. i convinced/forced ryan to book a ticket so he is coming to cape cod too for 4 of the days (miracle he booked it. guilt/freaking out works wonders)
4. fonzie got neutered last tuesday. since then he tore the stitches out and had to get staples put in (thursday for an additional $100), tore the staples out and had to get new ones put in (saturday at 1am for $100), ate a computer cord (sunday), pooped on the floor and puked on the carpet (last night). soooo he is obviously uncomfortable/pissed off. i feel bad for him but OMG chill out!!! icant wait til the staples are out and we're in cape cod so he can settle down. i will be posting a video of fonzie's first frolic in the ocean when that happens.
OK so don't judge- Zuppa Toscana is a soup recipe from the OG. Or otherwise known as The Olive Garden. The recipe is a copy cat version:
ReplyDelete- Italian sausage removed from casing (I use italian turkey sausage)
- red pepper flakes (to taste)
- onion chopped
- garlic
- chicken stock
- 3 potatoes, cubed with skin on
- kale
- cream or milk (since we always have whole milk handy nowadays, I just add about 1/2 cup of whole milk at the end)
*saute the broken up italian sausage until cooked through, add red pepper flakes if you like it spicy. remove from pot and set aside
*saute onions until soft and a garlic clove, minced. saute until fragrant
*add about 8 cups of chicken stock and potatoes. cook until potatoes are soft.
* add sausage back in, add kale (I don't like it super kale-y, but a couple of big leaves cut up will do), and add milk/cream
that's it! Welcome to the OG- When you're here, you're family.
