At the St. Patty’s Day Parade, there was this adorable little girl behind me holding a naked Barbie and another toy. Later, when I turned around, I noticed she no longer had the Barbie, so I asked her where the Barbie was. Her dad answered- “She’s in my pocket.” Then he turned around and showed me the back pocket of his jeans. Low and behold there was naked Barbie along with another Barbie I hadn’t yet met. She wasn’t technnically naked because she had a bikini of sorts painted on her. I wonder if visions of naked Barbies in his pockets entered his head when he heard the words, “It’s a girl.” Probably not.
I’ve been having spontaneous desires to hug children lately. Does that sound creepy? It’s not meant to be. They are just so cute!
It’s official. Gertie likes Roomie more than me. Proven last night during couch time when Gertie opted to snuggle Roomie rather than with mommy. They grow up so fast…
Roomie’s vodka penne is far superior to mine. FAR.
In fact, if you walked into our apartment right now, you could still see the bowl that I practically licked because it was so good. Also because after eating so much pasta no one was feeling up to dishes so we made a pact not to. Although we didn’t establish a cut-off time for that which could be problematic…
This morning I was tied for first with two others in the office bracket pool. Eek! It probably won’t last long.
Hey Abigail,
I know. The recipe came from a Semi-Homemade cookbook by Sandra Lee. And I actually googled it to see if I could find it online, but it wasn’t there. However, it was very similar to the Rachel Ray recipe I have used before – http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/you-wont-be-single-for-long-vodka-cream-pasta-recipe/index.html
The biggest difference was it used a jar of pasta sauce instead of the crushed tomatoes with shallots and garlic and it used pancetta which made it so yummy.

You canNOT blog about vodka penne and then not put either yours or your Roomie’s recipe. Technically not allowed.
