Today was picture day. Robin took the kids to the mall for a photo shoot – the first one with the new addition to our family. With help from Grammy, Boppy, and Erin, the picture taking went well. Even so, tonight’s very nice pasta dish was a very welcome end to the day.

We have been watching a great deal of television lately. Nursing the baby is very important, but tends to keep us (mostly Robin) sedentary for long periods of time. Lucky for us, we’re computer dorks (mostly Chris).

Last summer, we started experimenting with MythTV, which is a digital video recorder, similar to TiVo. MythTV only runs under Linux, and it is a bit of a chore to setup. We only run Linux (no Microsoft for us, thank you) and do not mind a challenge, so we have had a working MythTV box for a while now. Until the baby was born, it was mostly Chris’s toy. After the new addition, Robin found MythTV very convenient – especially for those 3 a.m. feedings.

One of the shows that we had not been able to watch much in the past is Molto Mario. This despite the fact that Robin’s father was partial to his Food Network show. We owe the inspiration for this meal to a recent Molto Mario episode (and indirectly to Myth for giving us the chance to watch it).
