Tonight's dinner was thrown together from various things in the kitchen - I'm putting off actual grocery shopping until I get back in town from visiting my parents this weekend. I had some mushrooms left over from last week's mushroom risotto, so I sliced them up and sauteed them in olive oil and water (white wine works better, but I did not have any open, and being alone in an apartment with a full bottle of wine when I should be studying sounded like a bad idea) with a bit of garlic, salt and pepper.
I also boiled some pasta - pesto tortellini - and tossed that with olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano and basil. I then added the mushrooms and topped with freshly grated parmesan, which was also leftover from the risotto. Mmm...
This is what a good box of white wine was invented for. There really are some decent ones out there, especially if you're looking for a cooking/dringking staple and not something to wow your somolier. To top it off, most boxes are under $30, and since most boxes hold at least three bottle's worth, that's a steal at twice the price!
