Mmm. Tasty.

We did a great dinner last night.  One of the huz's high school buddies was in town, and we had him over.  Below follows the scrumptious - and easy - pasta recipe we served.  I should note that this is about the third revision of the recipe it's seen in our family since it was originally published in Gourmet magazine around 30 years ago.

( Pasta with Smoked Salmon )

We served the pasta with a green salad and Italian bread, and finished up with some of our Meyer lemon ice cream.  Danged good dinner, if I do say so myself.  :)

I'm expecting to hear back from the vet with a time to come pick Tazz up anytime.  The bronchioscopy started a little later than planned due to the arrival of an emergency case, and I got a call around 2:15 saying that the procedure was just getting started.  From talking to the doctor yesterday, I know that the procedure itself is pretty short - 15 minutes or so - with a couple of hours of waking up and being observed after that. 

It's very very wet out here at the moment, and I just got a call from nezumiko, who lives about a mile away from our house, saying that her power's out.  So our power may be out too.  Huzzah for well-charged batteries in portable game systems, say I!
