Welcome Home Endeavor!

Welcome Home Endeavor!

We climbed up on the roof for the fly-over yesterday afternoon, but unfortunately the sun concealed our view. Those sonic booms were pretty exciting, though! The loud BOOM, BOOM shook the roof a bit and prompted a neighbor to shout out a question if someone had dropped something on her roof.

Oh well, didn't see it in person, but at left is a shot from NASA online once Endeavor was safely on ground.


After all the excitement we celebrated with:

Welcome Home Endeavor Alfredo

1/4 c.Heavy Cream
1/4 c. Half-n-Half
Splash of Milk
3 T. Butter
1 cup Parmesan Cheese
3 cloves of Garlic
2 T. Parsley
1 cup Roasted Turkey Breast
Steamed broccoli & cauliflower Florettes
Spaghetti (Cooked)

Steam vegetables and set aside. Place cream, Half-n-half, Milk, Garlic, Butter, Parmesan Cheese and Parsley in Blender. Pulse until garlic and cheese grated and cream is whipped. Transfer to microwave safe dish and microwave for 2 minutes. While sauce is warming, cube Turkey into bite-size pieces. Pulse sauce a few more times in blender and pour over spaghetti, turkey and vegetables. Preparation time: 3 minutes for the sauce, 20 minutes for boiling water, steaming vegetables and cooking spaghetti. If using leftovers, dinner can be on the table in 3 minutes. I'm serious. We can't have it too often because of the the cream and butter, but occasionally this is a GREAT dinner for weeknights.

Bob wanted some, of course, but alfredo is not for puppies.

He DID however take me on a very brisk walk/jog to work off the calories. =)

Happy Monday!
