My neighbor Ruby really started something when she generously shared her locally grown veggies with me the other day. I expected to like the yellow summer squash best, but the slender green zucchinis were beyond awesome. They would have been delicious cooked any old way, but with no more seasoning than a bit of butter and fresh ground black pepper, the NuWave countertop oven nuked them to absolute perfection. Now I want more!
The 99¢ Only store is spoiling me too, with huge bunches of the teeniest baby asparagus stalks I've ever seen at such an affordable price. I am smelling them cooking now! Dinner will include Barilla Plus Rotini. If I'm cooking something else in the Farberware Multicooker, I nuke pasta in there too. They say not to do it, but I've never had a problem. One less pot to wash. I use the pressure cooking mode for beans too. Times have changed.
In case anyone wonders how I got that "¢" typed in above, it is code "0162" but it has to be done on the keypad by holding the ALT key down, keying in 0162 and then releasing the ALT. It doesn't work with the numbers above the qwerty.
Here is a wonderful resource for alternate characters in Windows:
