I'd use them in broth, chicken preferably. Some
sliced green onions and a splash of sherry would
be good. Sort of a quickie wonton soup.
Did you win any money? See any good shows?

Butter and parmesian cheese?

What about vodka sauce; is that too much like cream sauce?

For me, yes. For him, it'd be a loser. See my response to Jill.
Thanks for the reply, though.

That's going to be the only way he'll do it, I think, Dimitri. And
likely what supper will be. Need to get those puppies out of the
freezer. I've got a chunk of turkey in the freezer, too. Will add that
to the broth. Ta.

Lost my shirt but not my a**. Actually, I came home with some money --
see my Trip Report. Without that one win, I'd be screwed. And speaking
of THAT -- we saw Zumanity. <heavy breathing>. And Rita Rudner. She
was a kick -- see my sig line? The tortellini are going into soup.
Thanks!

Butter and parm would be good for me. I don't think he's going to be
nuts about anything I do with them.

I think I'll make Nancy's chicken tortilla soup and use the tortellini
instead of tortillas. Or something. We're going to freeze off our
nubbins here this week -- something spicy would not be a bad thing!
Gotta hit the store anyway -- need to run my car.

Don't forget some frozen peas and carrots

;-)

All the best to Rob.

Dimitri

On a lark serve with some lemon wedges on the side and let Rob try a little
lemon in the chicken soup - maybe a separate bowl to try the lemon and Soup

How about just oil and garlic. Tasty and simple.

Butter, olive oil, garlic, and *shrimp*. Rob can pick out 2/3 of the
shrimp and leave all the noodles and some of the shrimps for Barb.

Tortellini in brodo is a bolognese classic.

How about Tortellini in Spicy Chicken Tortilla-less Brodo, Bubba?

The joke's on me, folks: I must've used them up -- I have none in the
freezer. And I used a can of jalapeños instead of green chilies --
hushpuppadinisniki! This be hot stuff! I'm hoping the sour cream will
tone down the bite a little. If not, Professor Rob may be nuking
himself a potpie for supper. Yikes!

Go whine somewhere else, Pal. We're looking at -20 tonight. We love it

Saute some crushed garlic, diced shallot in plenty of olive oil and a
little butter. That's all. Goes well with tortellini.

Some times I look at a cup that shows a Minnesota Family all bundled

Minus 18 degrees here this morning (that's -28°C), but not nearly as
windy as last night. I had to go out and dig around in the garage and
find the battery charger and use it to warm up the battery in Wife's car
to make sure it would start. Of course my truck (parked on the street
all night) started just fine without any help -- that's what trucks do.

"Invigorating." That's what I keep telling myself. In a couple of
weeks I plant the first of my pepper seeds, and that always helps.

Best regards,
Bob, where it has warmed up to -13°F

Sounds good. If I ever buy another bag of them, I'll try to remember
it. Thanks, Stan.
