We love fresh angel hair pasta, and our favorite recipe
is one you could easily make in the little hotel
kitchen. It's Penzey's recipe for Herbed Pasta With Feta
Cheese (penzeys.comrOpen ↗
penzeysfetapasta.html). This dish has become a staple in
our home. Well, it *was* until we went on the South
Beach Diet. 🙁

Note: there is a Fresh Market right down the street; never
been there but between that and Albertson's can pick
up anything necessary.

Sounds simple enough. Any other simple stovetop only
suggestions? Thanks in advance 🙂

these are some of my all time favorites

a shrimp cream and butter sauce for your pasta.

panko'ed (breaded) chicken breasts stuffed with a spinache
filling or the usual swiss cheese and ham. Yes they can be
done outa the oven.

pan fried steaks with a green pepper sauce or brandied
sauce.

Ah, Leo! Marvelous! I must have missed that one in the
catalog! Thank you very much 🙂

How about shrimp, crab and alfredo? (Yeah, let's start the
great alfredo debate heh) Then we should definitely skip the
chicken or veal and just include steamed veggies.

Hmmm, hadn't thought of that. I like the idea of spinach,
perhaps with a feta and some kind of crumb blend... I'll do
research 🙂

After the fabulous prime filet we had at Smith & Wollensky,
I don't think I'll attempt to pan fry a steak for us!

Thanks for the suggestions, Alan!

Oh, angel hair with that fabulous piccata sauce, heaven. I
just struggle a little trying to have the chicken and the
pasta done at exactly the same time.

Remind me to pack a digital timer! I don't think the stove
had a clock/timer on it.

A stir-fry would work if your burner has enough
heat, and there's lots of variations on that. Many
stores even sell bags of pre-cut vegetables if you
prefer something quick. There's also omelets, a mess
of shrimp and lots of cocktail sauce for dipping,
edamame makes a nice high protein snack for quick
bursts of energy, breakfast-for-dinner if you
haven't already done it for breakfast...

(Might want to keep in mind that ventilation is not really
adequate in
those rooms, so if you mind cooking smells hanging around
you might be SOL.)

And don't forget dessert. 🙂

I suggest you eat out and invite him to visit you for a home-
cooked meal. Even if you manage to find the pots and
ingredients, you'll eat from cheap china (or paper!) and be
missing a lot of the atmosphere that would make it
elegant/romantic.

My preference would be some good cheese, bread, fruit and
wine eaten in a pretty al fresco site.

Assuming John lives in that area, why do both of you have to
stay in a hotel - Is John married?

You're assuming quite a lot and no, he is not married; he
does art shows around the country. And why do I have to keep
killfiling your sorry ass?!

Why don't you meet him in other cities, then? Why not
see some other interesting cities? Sounds pretty
suspicious to me.

You've never seen my ass. Hmm, maybe you have if you've read
alt.binaries.food. But I guarantee it's not sorry; it's
quite plush, actually.

That's the problem... Angel Hair pasta is done before you
even drop it in the water... Therefore (as I stated) it
sucks... Balls.

No problem. Get everything else done first and have the
water boiling. Fresh angel hair pasta takes only about 30
seconds at a rapid boil, dried takes about a minute to a
minute and a half.

Oh my dear Gloria! Just being together after 23 years is
romantic! We really don't care about the china 🙂
