letters from home

I received a letter from home today that just made my day. Not only is it great to know that someone is thinking about you and cares about you even when you're not with them, but it is even greater to know that they care enough to send you a letter. So if you have a college student or know a college student, send them a letter, it just might make their day.

Rosemary and Sage also made my day because they are so wonderfully delicious on potatoes. Today we made roasted chicken, pan gravy, broccoli rabe, ratatouille, and roasted potatoes. For the potatoes, we sliced them a little thicker than a 1/4 inch, and tossed them in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Then we heated olive oil in a pan until it was really hot and took the potato slices and laid them into the hot pan that was immediately put in a 35o° oven and cooked until the potatoes browned on the bottom, then they were flipped over. Once the potatoes were fully cooked, we tossed them in chopped sage, rosemary, and 3 slices of garlic. The potatoes were returned to the oven for a few minutes just to warm up some more but not really cook much further. Then they were eaten. Every single last one.
