A Slice of Life This Side of Paradise

It's very windy outside now. The evening is setting in. It's been a dank and depressing day. It rained in the early hours and gave us a windless, humid day. When a storm is gathering it's such a sight. I can just sit for hours watching the clouds getting darker and heavier, the light trickling through here and there..and then when it starts raining the thunder and lightning is so beautiful...I hate the muddy aftermath though...That day we were near Victoria when the storm started..

This is a pasta dish I made the other day. Basically I had a packet of brussels sprouts and I didn't remember why I bought them. So I headed over to Smitten Kitchen to hunt down a recipe that has brussels sprouts in it. This is the recipe I roughly followed. I held back on the onion and wine and added the pasta because I had it lying around for so long..garnished it with fried bits of bacon, dried parsley and dill..and dinner was ready for 2 nights in a row.
