I figured out that there are
215 calories per serving, if 8 servings are made. (Please note that the calorie counts vary
depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to use.)
Butter + Parsley +
Lemon + Noodles = Deliciousness
This is a wonderful side dish
for any meal. I loved the hint of
lemon flavor. It was subtle but actually made the dish taste refreshing. I know
that is crazy to describe a dish of pasta but that was the first thing that
crossed my mind as a consumed this recipe. I even think that kids would like this one once they tried
it out.
Random Reflections
A
few years ago I began writing a book about my Dad’s family. He came from a very
large family that grew up in Streator and Sandwich, Illinois. I became
interested in genealogy when ancestor.com began advertising. They offered a
free trial so I spent a lot of time gathering information about both sides of
my family. My cousin, Craig, was already working on my Mom’s side so I stopped
and left it to him. He has spent a
lot of time and has had a great deal of success.
My
Dad’s family, however, is extremely hard to trace back because of a lot of
missing information. I worked with many of my Dad’s siblings interviewing them
and started the hunt.
This
past weekend I visited my Aunt Ada and she lent me her personal photos so I
could get a copy for my files. I was so excited when I came across this photo
of my Dad in Korea.
I
can’t wait to have more time to devote to this project when I retire.
Helpful Home Hints
Are
you a person who likes to wrap packages and presents? I am and I think I received this gift from my Dad. He was always the one to wrap presents
because Mom said, “He is really good at it.” She really was right on that note.
I
love to decorate presents. Lately I have been into polka dot paper with
interesting bows and package decorations. During the holidays my packages used
to have a color theme. I varied it
from year to year and it was fun to plan for the holidays. Then one year I
realized just how much wrapping paper I had in the house. I am still trying to use it all up but
every once in awhile I buy a new tube.
To
store the paper so it is not dented or destroyed, I purchased x-large long
clear containers to keep the paper safe. This was a great idea because it holds
a lot of paper and has a lid to keep out the dust.
Around
the holidays look into these containers and you will be happy you did, too.
