Chanterelle al’Pomodoro

A lovely way to spend the day

So this weekend was basically the best thing since sliced bread. Friday I had a client have a fit and actually draw blood before falling asleep,quiet and adorable in my arms. I drove through town through saints fans and an inexplicable group of men running through the street in red  lingerie. To spend an evening with a new "friend."  We talked watched a movie and ate some very odd vegan Pizza. I am not even going to guess what the cheese was made out of....
Saturday I went on the road, hit the Hollygrove market for three bags and then drove a whole friend circuit. Ponchatula to have lunch with Aunt Debbie and Uncle Richard then on to Baton Rouge to help Christopher move in, from there I went to Covington to have dinner with Gail.
More friend time than I think I've had in months.

Any way Sunday was the exact opposite
Slept in, read a book, went for a swim.
In the afternoon I walked to the book store then I made this lovely meal.

Chanterelle al’Pomodoro
by Luisa   
# 47
1 pound of chanterelle mushrooms
1/2 pound of cherry tomatoes
5 cloves of fresh garlic
1 tsp of crushed dried hot peppers
handful of fresh basil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 pound of wheat angel hair

Boil the water for the pasta.
stir fry the chantelle mushrooms with oil and minced up garlic till the mushrooms are lightly brown.
then toss in the cherry tomatoes till it becomes gravy like.I always throw a teaspoon of sugar in the tomatoes for a sweeter taste and less acid.
throw in all the peppers and salt and basil let simmer for 20 min. Then when pasta is done mix in with the chanterelle mushrooms al’pomodoro.
 Since it is me we are talking about here I obviously did things a little different, I subbed in a teaspoon of Tony Chacheres for the salt and I used a little red bell pepper from my back yard instead of a hot pepper. I also used Pene instead of angel hair since that is what I had on hand. The result was delicious if a bit too spicy!

For desert I made a recipe of my grandmothers, I don't remember what she called it but I call it cereal stickies.
First pre-heat the oven to 325
Then you whip 3 egg whites with 2/3 of a cup of sugar
When you feel like the eggs are whipped  into submission you add four cups of cereal.
After that you use a teaspoon to scoop it onto a cookie sheet and bake for 13-15 min.
The result is yummy sticky things which will put a smile on your face.
