Crock Pot Pasta

Alas, today was the final Baltimore farmers’ market of 2004. To mark the occasion we prepare pasta with crock pot sauce (loaded with goodies from the market) and a nice little side of sautéed broccoli rabe. After such a fine meal, there is no better way to complete the evening than with a visit to the Cold Stone Creamery.
After enjoying the last farmers’ market until May, we had ourselves a typical winter Sunday afternoon—card games, football, laundry and a few errands.

We were able to stop at Office Depot for an “organizer” that our daughter insisted on getting. One of her little girlfriends found a pencil case there with compartments for different school supplies. She originally thought this could be had at any Home Depot, but, after realizing her mistake, has had her heart set on an Office Depot visit for two weeks or so. Happily, we were able to find the pencil case/organizer. Chris got air for the computer, which the rest of the family found quite amusing.

Robin did try to take the kids to see the Polar Express, but found it sold out when they arrived 15 minutes before showtime. This after Chris assured her that it was impossible for it to be sold out (“What? Are you kidding me?”). They settled for a quick trip to Michael’s instead.

On such a cold winter day, a little comfort food was the perfect ending. That and ice cream.
