As you know I recently had a kick ass tailgate/4th of July party. The food was all really good and everyone ate way more "real" food than they did junk food which left me with this little problem:
I LOVE party mix! Are there people that don't? If there are I don't think we'd get along. I normally don't keep junk in the house because I lack self control. But I also hate to throw food away - I'm often outside begging the neighbor kids to eat my baked goods so I don't eat a dozen cookies in one sitting. I'm hoping when I get home that this giant tub of party mix will be gone. But, if it's not I'll probably pick all the good stuff out until it's just a tub of pretzels.
(**I wrote this in Denver but couldn't post until I got home. Bad news...it's still here taunting me!)
I should probably share an actual dish with you - this one is so simple and delicious. Ron made these bay scallops with shallots, garlic, butter, lemon and parsley tossed with whole wheat linguini. I topped mine with some halved grape tomatoes. I don't eat pasta often but when I do I like to have it nice and light just like this.

That pasta looks delicious and if I was eating it, my bowl would've been about four times bigger.
Also, I literally just finished cooking the recipe for chickpeas and ground beef that you gave me and it is so delicious that I had to wrap it up and stick it in the back of the fridge behind the milk because I was tempted to eat the whole thing at 11:30 at night. Thanks!
My bowl is only small because I over-snacked on party mix before dinner.
You just reminded me of that chickpea dish - I should make that again soon. I love Mark Bittman. For all three of my dedicated readers here is the recipe that Addie is talking about via Kalyn at Kalyn's kitchen: Spicy Chick Peas with Beef and Cilantro
