Marinara fixes everything.

Mike and I were feeling lucky tonight, so it was decided that experimental cooking was the way to go.  We scoured my mini fridge and make-shift pantry for random crap to throw together.  Here's what we came up with:

- Bean thread (a gluten-free angel hair pasta-like substance that turned out to be SO GOOD)
- Random veggies: spinach, tomatoes, green peppers, carrots
- Bumblebee tuna
- marinara sauce

Slapped it all together, and we had ourselves a pretty darn good, albeit funky lookin', dinner.  You could hardly even notice the tuna-- it was like hidden protein.  And cover anything in marinara sauce and there's no way it'll suck.  Fact: marinara fixes everything.


And then there's my trash find of the day: Moroccan lentil couscous salad.  It's from the kosher section of the Marche, meaning it's fancy and delicious and ridiculously expensive.  I found it mostly-full in the garbage and ran to get a fork before I remembered I can't eat couscous.  Blergh.  But hey, someone can!  So Mike claimed it and enjoyed the heck outta that kosher stuff.  You can tell he likes it by the number of smile lines on his face.  The more lines, the better the food.  Check out that forehead in the pasta picture.  Yep, it was that good.


Oh, and in case you were wondering, here's the Bumblebee tuna theme song.  I don't know why you'd be wondering about this song, but here it is anyway.  Enjoy having it stuck in your head for the next 6 million hours.
