I think I had my colonoscopy today. I walked over to the Surgical Center this morning at 6:30. while it was still cool, was given an immodest hospital gown to wear, lay down on a gurney, a nurse put an IV in my arm, and the next thing I knew my surgeon was telling me about my innards. The easiest surgical procedure I’ve ever had. The prep was a b***c, though. At work on Sunday all I could eat were two tubs of Jell-O I had made (orange and berry), while everyone else at work was eating fried chicken, mexican food and pizza! I was so hungry I was even eying the children who came to the clinic…..
So, as soon as I got home, I made myself a huge smoked salmon sandwich on rustic Italian bread with a little cream cheese, chopped red onion and capers…and snarfed every crumb down, and I’m still hungry!
Dpes anyone have a good recipe for a white pasta sauce with hearts of artichokes? For some reason, I have a hankering for something like that…please?
Basic White Sauce:
2 T butter
2 T flour
1/4 tsp salt and white or black ground pepper as needed
1 C milk
Melt butter in saucepan over low heat. Blend in flour, salt and dashes of pepper (white or black). Add milk all at once, stirring constantly until it bubbles and thickens. Remove from heat and add your other things or flavorings, stir until smooth. Maybe heat just a little bit.
Add to your luscious fixin’s. Noodles, spaghetti, rice, etc, etc…
With artichokes, I’d probably go with an Alfredo sauce instead of a plain white sauce.
* butter, about 2 tablespoons
* garlic: a clove or 2 or 20, as you prefer, smashed or chopped
* half-and-half or evaporated milk, about a cup
* grated Parmesan cheese, about 1 to 1-1/2 cups

Ok, off to fix a little dinner then rant at Drinking Liberally. We have a big problem here with the RE developers.
Thanks for all your comments for my daughter’s wedding.

Let us know how it turns out.
Back from Drinking Liberally ranting and ranting.

* half-and-half or evaporated milk, about a cup
* grated Parmesan cheese, about 1 to 1-1/2 cups
Melt the butter and sauté the garlic for a minute or two. Add the milk or half-and-half and heat while stirring; if it boils, the half-and-half will break and your sauce will look funny. Once it’s hot but not boiling, add the grated cheese and stir it until it melts.
Pour over your cooked pasta and artichokes. Done! Eat!
