I got a grape tomato!
And Mitch got a black olive! It's sorta matches your nose, Mitch!
The recipe is as follows for the pasta salad:
In a small bowl combine 1/4 cup wine vinegar, 3 Tablespoons olive oil, 1 clove garlic that has been minced, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried marjorum, 2 Tablespoons of parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
Combine the above ingredients and pour over the cooked pasta and toss well.
We added some cooked asparagus, halved grape tomatoes, 1 can of small pitted black olives, 1 small jar of marinated artichoke hearts and about 1/2 cup of marinated mushrooms.
The tuna salad is ready to be put on rolls and served with lots of salads for lunch!
Mom tells us that Aunt Fran will be making potato salad and Aunt Jan will be making cole slaw and Aunt April will be bringing a yummy chicken salad and for dessert - peach cobbler! yummmm
We think the timberframers that will be doing roof duty and siding duty will be very happy with today's lunch!
This past Monday was International Ice Cream day and we missed it! We're making up for it now!
So until next time......................
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

If I am knows You, I often get ice and water melon.
ReplyDeleteIf this sees my mummy, she gives me certainly also tasty salads. She loves the Italian kitchen and this smells always so well.
I would like to see with pleasure other things which you may eat.
Mummy has shopped already a little bit nice for your package. She has shown it to me and I did not want to give it at all. Now she must buy it once again, because I do not give it any more. I am a terrier. Yeah
