Corn Pasta


In the morning I had taken Bea to the doctor to analyze the abnormal results of some tests that she had taken. The doctor had a great response to the test. He explained that in her case the test was meaningless and the proper course of action was to never take the test again. I loved it!

We invited Bea over to celebrate her good medical news. She brought us an exceptional white wine. We started with another Tomato Salad just like the one we made for July 4th. We then planned to serve Corn Pasta. This would be the first corn pasta of the year. Corn is late this year in the market. The recipe is excellent and is available on our blog of: August 12, 2008.

While eating our salad we discussed that Barbrix was making appetizer sandwiches with soft-shelled crab. We couldn’t resist. We called the restaurant and asked if they had them on the menu. They did. So, we got up in the middle of our meal and drove to Barbrix and had Soft-Shell Crab Sandwiches and champagne. The sandwiches were great!

We then drove back to the house to continue our meal. The corn pasta was made but we realized we weren’t hungry for a pasta any more. So we went directly to dessert. Luckily we had some left over desserts from July 4th that Daryl and Robert had left with us.

The next night Cathy and I had a Salad with Fresh Apricots and Prosciutto, followed by the Corn Pasta we had cooked but never eaten. One has to be flexable.
