Brie and Boxes

Howdy all. So, I've gone and done it now. Up and bought a house like I buy a pair of shoes. An adorable, little wonder from 1949. It is perfectly vintage and in spectacularly sound shape for a house of its age. I feel like Goldilocks when she found just the right chair, bowl and bed! I really had no intention of buying a house, but there it was, calling out to me, and I answered with a resounding yes! It didn't hurt that there was an ornate S on the front screen door already marking it as mine. It also didn't hurt that the previous owner had already planted a vegetable garden in the backyard! Tomatoes, basil, banana peppers, rosemary, mint, lemon balm, and even some gorgeous 6 year old grape vines! Thanks, Louis! So, now that we've moved in, the cats and I are living in a sea of boxes and while they adore this state for the climbing and hiding capabilities, I am having a harder time with it. The procrastinator in me is avoiding the unpacking just as much as I was ignoring the packing two weeks ago. This brings me to my staff pick for this month. Since the majority of my kitchen crap is still buried in the box room, I need something easy to make! Fresh produce from the garden, one pot, one knife, one bowl and one happy meal! This pasta dish comes from a dear family friend, the lovely Betsy Relin. And, in keeping with her cooking style, there will be no true measurements involved in this process! The recipe is simple, fresh, quick and delicious. Perfect for summer.
