Ahhh, Thanksgiving. Family, friends, more family, more friends, drinks, food, traffic, phone calls, text messages, yadda, yadda, yadda. Going home is a wonderful thing, but it comes with a price.
When I was in college it was easy and care free. Hangovers were expected and easily dealt with; going from one house to the next was fine because, hey, you can always sleep when you are dead!
Now? Not so much.
Responsibilities abound and expectations are high. Needless to say, I'm exhausted and think I need more time off, however, this is not an option. Tonight, I needed comfort - and that is what I made: Putanesca Sauce with Porccini Ravioli.
Putanesca Sauce
5 anchovies, 1/2 red onion, 2 cloves garlic, 6 sm. portabella mushrooms, small hand full of kalmata olives, 1 can whole tomatoes, red pepper, parsley. Sautee everything in olive oil except the can of tomatoes... after 10 minutes, add the can. Include 1/2 a can of water and let condense.
Serve over pasta or... whatever. It's delicious and brings me back to the reality I was absent from for 4 days.
Welcome home!
