Weekend Doings


Found our bee traps strewn about the yard Saturday Morning.  We have hung bee traps for years to keep away the yellow jackets with no attention given to them…until now.  Apparently, the syrup tastes like honey.  Haven’t seen any bears, but you always know they are out there!



Amelia has always loved being in the garage with dad.  She tinkers.  Thought I would catch a photo of her showing her safety skills!


My niece is planning her daughter Olivia's 1st birthday party.  I cannot believe I will miss it! sigh.  I told her I would try a couple recipes for her.  Here is an appetizer  that both tastes and looks fabulous.

Marinated Tortellini Skewers
Ingredients
1 package (10 ounce) tortellini, cheese, refrigerated package (I used frozen and cooked according to the directions)
1/2 cup olive oil, extra virgin
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/3 cup vinegar, balsamic
6 tablespoons parsley, fresh, chopped
3 cloves garlic, fresh, chopped
1/4 teaspoon pepper, black, ground
8 ounces tomato(es), grape or cherry
Preparation
Prepare tortellini according to package directions. Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl, combine all other ingredients. When cooked mix in the tortellini. Marinate in the refrigerator for several hours. Thread tortellini and tomatoes on to skewers using more tortellini than tomato on each skewer. Serve at room temperature.
