Ups and Downs of a Day in Spring...
Well, today's temperature and climate are surprising cold, beautiful, and invigorating. We have so much going on here at school, and I did an overnight cooking spree again! This time I'm thinking it was for me because I made a lovely little Tortellini Salad, and my mom isn't much of a tortellini person... My mom loves the sweet or the "crunch" and tortellini is neither!
Great News! Our Academic Bowl team is headed for State Competition. I'm thrilled for them, and I believe it is a FIRST! Those kids are amazing!
Officially had a little blunder this morning. I had a nasty fall coming out my door. My ankle twisted, and I fell into a table and cracked my head on the floor... I kind of thought I would just sit there for the rest of the today... Haha.. but after a few minutes I got up and limped to the car... I begged an ice pack from Coach, and I think I'll survive! My biggest problem is determining which "boo boo" I want to ice... I voted for the ankle... It has a little tennis ball size swelling going on.... I had new shoes, which I blame... So I'm sending them back. Fifty bucks will be fun to deposit in my account. I literally took three steps in them, and because the soles are like air but they have a little wedge, I lost my footing and rolled the ankle.. I guess...
Well, back to the salad... Here's how I made it: I boiled the tortellini (purchased from Schwan) and a few grated carrots (bought precut in the bag). I added them to two ribs of celery, diced small, and half an onion, minced, a tsp. of crushed garlic, salt and pepper.. Then I poured over it my favorite creamy Italian dressing and about a 1/4 c. shake of Parmesan from a jar... I loved it warm, and I can't wait for lunch because I brought a little container... cold!
Have a fun day...
