Have arthritis, coordination, or other problems? Use a battery operated pepper mill. My mom has one and she loves it. Fresh herbs and spices take your food to a whole other level.

Ooh that sounds delish!!!!

Let me know what you thought of this recipe!

Notes: lime zest has a very strong flavor; you may need to add more zest if you’re using lemon.
Freezing your zest is an excellent way to preserve its flavor for later use. When buying fresh citrus, zest it before you squeeze it. (Btw, fresh IS WORTH it)
FRESH dill is important! It doesn’t dry well

Combine the first 3 ingredients(4, if youre using dried tarragon, to draw out the flavor) and let simmer for at least 6 minutes. Add the lime or lemon zest and dill, mix thoroughly, and add to your pasta.
And you’re done!

And the sauce:
*approximate measurements
Half and half (1/2 cup)
Butter 2 Tbsp
White wine 1/4 cup
Tarragon 1 Tbsb
FRESH Dill 2TBSP
Lemon or lime zest 1/2 tsp
Salt and pepper to taste

-pasta timer expires, and add a few minutes to the timer.

Base ingredients:
1lb salmon, pan fried with salt and pepper
1lb pasta
2 bags frozen peas (24 oz)

Notes:
Smoked salmon is more expensive, but yields a richer flavor
Frozen peas can be thawed appropriately in a colander that sits inside your pot. Toss them in a few minute before your-

Since this was never really measured in any way by my mom, I am doing my best to recreate it. Please note that this recipe should, for all intents and purposes, be considered incomplete…but you’re welcome to take a crack at it!

Instead of using my colander or slotted spoon (both in the dishwasher) I scooped my sweet potatoes against the side of the pot, lifted it from the water, and transferred them to a bowl. This got rid of the water almost as effectively, if more time-consumingly, as a colander.

I’d like to share what I’ve learned, and I hope that this journey will be both educational and entertaining as I walk through the ins and outs of my pantry, the dos and dont’s of cooking, the tools good and bad, and the pleasure of a good meal.
Stay tuned, and stay hungry!
