Bon Appetit!

I subscribed to the magazine Bon Appetit a while back but have been too chicken to try any of the fancy/complicated recipes.  Until this weekend!  I attempted a pasta salad of sorts with asparagus, peas, butter lettuce (so good) and prosciutto (so expensive!)  Here's the recipe from their website including a picture of what it is supposed to look like:

It was really tasty.  What made the dish was the prosciutto - it's saltyness and strong flavor added the extra oomph that was sorely needed.  Plus I just love asparagus.  Also, it didn't take as long to make as I first thought, but I did have some help.  

In other news, I found a cockroach in my bed.  I was making my bed one morning and there it was.  It was dead, thank goodness.  Apparently it had been in there all night because all of it's little legs and antenna were broken off and scattered between the sheets.  Gross.  I was horrified at first, but was running late so I could do no more than toss it in the trash.  As the day went on, I got over it (I am already getting used to these dudes inevitably finding their way into every aspect of my life) and by the time I got home I was fine.  I picked up the vacuum and sucked up all the leg bits, made my bed and went on with my day.  That's right, I did not change my sheets.  Whatever, I'll be fine.
