For dinner last evening, I made a chicken and pasta dish: I simmered sliced white onion, minced garlic, sliced Fresno peppers, sliced Japanese eggplant, diced tomatoes, and shredded (previously grilled) chicken breast in extra-virgin olive oil and Cabernet Sauvignon—seasoned with ground black pepper, sea salt, and Italian seasoning. After this had simmered for two hours, I placed a quantity of fresh basil leaves on top and continued the simmering. An hour later, Laura stirred to incorporate the basil leaves. I cooked a package of Barilla penne for 9 minutes (the box carries a recommendation for 11 minutes), drained, and incorporated into the sauce. I toasted garlic bread under the broiler. It was delightful.
I dreamed of Carmelita, the Frog-faced Girl. I shall tell you of this dream in tomorrow's post.
