And when I'm writing, I tend to get sucked into whatever my characters are eating.
Last Friday, I was reading a book and the characters were having spaghetti and meatballs. They were raving over the meal, and I was having SERIOUS CRAVINGS.
But it was a Friday.
In Lent.
That means no meat. 😢
No meatballs. 😢😢
No problem! 😀
I remembered I had shrimp in the freezer. That would work, right?
My husband absolutely hated the idea of tomato sauce with seafood, so I'd gotten out of the habit, and I did a quick Google search to make sure it was actually okay to mix them. I found some recipes for shrimp parmigiana so I figured I was okay to wing it on my own.
Because the thing was ***confession time*** I wanted to eat it, but I wasn't particularly keen on cooking.
Again, no problem.
I bought angel hair pasta - just a few minutes to boil.
I bought a jar of tomato sauce, poured it into the pan, added the frozen shrimp, dumped some cheese in and simmered.
Once the pasta was ready, I poured the shrimp mix on top, sprinkled some extra cheese on and stuck it in the oven for a few minutes.
Cravings satisfied!!!!
Am I the only one who gets so caught up in what the characters in books are eating?
