Cooking

I'm a lousy cook. Any recipe with more than 3 ingredients and over a paragraph of description and it becomes science fiction reading for me. My friend Dolores will often find an EXTREMELY simple recipe and give it to me. I love her pastina soup -- broth, pastina or orzo rice, shredded fresh zucchini -- boil a little, sprinkle on some parmesan. Heaven! I do love simple vegetable recipes (that's my assignment, along with cleanup). Sal usually decides what he'd like and cooks it and I always love it.
