What dinner really looks like

The next installment of what dinner really looks like!

Tonight we had bruschetta, thick hearty soup, and beer.

The soup is one of my favorites. Nothing exact. 3 cups mushrooms chopped, 1 large onion chopped. Saute in a pot with some olive oil. Add in 2 cups chopped parsley (with stems). Salt, pepper, paprika to taste. Add 2 cups of chicken stock... simmer away. In another pot cook whole wheat pastina, reserve half the water to add to the soup along with the noodles. Done and done!

Perfect for eating after a long afternoon playing around with the puppy down the street! How cute are they together!!! Whaten's sure do love the snow!

What dinner really looks like

I love blogging, I do. But some night I just want to eat. No matter how amazingly good the thing I just made, and how much I want to share the recipe with you. Sometimes, a girl just wants to sit down with a beer and chow to her hearts content. Which in my case means there will be no food left to take pretty photos of.

So I bring you a new series I'd like to start. It's called: What dinner really looks like. No styling, no props. No setting up lighting and thinking about composition or if tastespotting or foodgawker will accept it. (rejected: lighting... composition... ) Just FOOD. Real food. Haphazard, stained napkins. REAL LIFE.

Love it? Hate it? Do you only want to see pretty pictures? It's ok, no one likes to comment anyway, so I'll just keep on doing what makes me happy. ;) unless you speak up that is, then I'm happy to listen.

Pictured:
whole wheat spaghetti with diavola sauce
venison cooked in copious amounts of garlic and some good seasonings salad dressing
bruschetta made from whole wheat rolls, grape tomatoes, more good seasonings salad dressing, basil, shredded mozzarella, and 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar reduced. Seriously that balsamic reduction is the key to this tasting so so amazing.

Enjoy the haphazard random :)
