I've made a similar recipe before but I don't think it had spinach in it. Pinning for later.
ReplyDeleteAnd ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww....kill it with FIRE!
Hope you try it with the spinach, it's a good healthy addition.
DeleteAnd yes, on the snake. . . ewwwwwwwwwwww.
Here's mine: GOODNESS GRACIOUS SNAKES ALIVE! How the H did HE get in here?
ReplyDeleteI'd pass out after I stopped screaming or not. If you've followed me for very long on FB, I take lots of snake photos.
I love your addition. "Snakes alive", LOL!
DeleteThe snake pic brought me in! Interest peaked! I had 5 of those buggers, Ball Pythons; very docile…At any rate, this recipe looks great!
DeleteI have to admit this is the first time I've heard "pythons" and "docile" in one sentence.
DeleteSnakeskin purse? Really? Did I happen to mention I LOVE snakes? :P I'd be the child, yelling over the screaming mom :)
ReplyDeleteSo funny you'd be that kid, I'd be the screaming mom for sure!
DeleteI'm there with ya, Robin!
DeleteI don't dislike snakes as much as I dislike being surprised by them.
DeleteI have to tweet these LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tweet support. So glad to have started your weekend off with a laugh or two.
DeleteYou are SO right about the kid! I can see my boys in a few years having this exact reaction. Ok, maybe not my oldest boy. But the baby? He'd be all over it.
ReplyDeleteSo funny how our kids are raised in the same house yet have such different personalities. I think my two would react as differently as your two.
DeleteBest. Lines. EVER!!!!! Don't know how you do it!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo way. Yours was absolutely hysterical this week.
DeleteFunny you posted this today----I was in my garden this morning and a snake slithered right past me. #5 oh so true!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's funny how the subject of blogs seems to make its way into so many of our conversations.
DeleteLOVE your seafood pasta dish! It's exactly what I love to order when we're dining out. I should really try it at home :)
ReplyDeleteWe love it too. Sometimes you want a hearty, heavy pasta dish and sometimes you just want something a little lighter. This one is perfect for those lighter nights.
DeleteLove the snakeskin purse idea. My dad had actually been saving that one to have a belt made.
ReplyDeleteHa. I was close!
DeleteHope you have a terrific Labor Day weekend! Enjoy and have some fun. Sorry I have not been around in a while as I have had some family matters to attend to recently.
ReplyDeleteHope all is OK with you, Phil. I've missed you.
DeleteSo good, so good, so good...that dish is perfect. I like the angel hair...light and delicate. Oh boy, now you really have me craving seafood!!
ReplyDeleteI always crave seafood. Living in the Midwest my diet is very different than it had been on the East Coast.
DeleteHilarious! 1 is so me! Soooo me! Love this recipe! Molly will love it too. She LOVES seafood!
ReplyDeleteOne is so me, too. I'd just get rid of the freezer and start all over with a new one.
