Bad Puttanesca!

Bad planning on my part. BAD!
The crockpot meal I planned for this week only cooks 4 hours on low, so that gets moved to the weekend. I forgot that Jim & I have a gig Wednesday- Saturday nights, so everything I wanted to make has to be shifted around so that I do the fastest and easiest the next 3 days. ARGH! I hate when I screw up!

Last night - healthy carbonara (which I didn't make a few days prior.)
Tonight - spaghetti with sauce pre-made and frozen
Tomorrow - hot dogs/burgers with beans and frozen veggies
Saturday - apricot chicken in the crock pot
Sunday - back on schedule, whew!

I had my sister and my good friends J&W over to celebrate my birthday... I made a big pot of my IN-famous vodka sauce and two pounds of rotini. J&W brought munchy appetizers, my sister and her date brought lots of booze and some really good bread. I wound up getting a cake from Friendly's instead of ColdStone, but it was all worth it. AND there are leftovers for lunch this week!!!!
