Rainy day Bolognese

[jon-nyc]

I just booked a reservation at an Italian restaurant here in Davidson, NC. Pappardelle Bolognese is on the menu. The pappardelle is house made with spinach.

Ah. Did not know you were there. Mayla with you?

[jon-nyc]

Yep. We had a fundraiser last night. A dinner cruise on Lake Norman. Monday I need to be at Duke for a few days so we’re hanging here until tomorrow when we will head up to Durham.

[Mik]

Nice. But I’ll bet the trips down get a little tiring. Hope all goes great.

[jon-nyc]

Usually I don’t mind. This one is more tedious as I am getting a three day inpatient treatment that will make me feel like shit.

[Mik]

Swell. Hope it goes fast.

Damn Italian restaurant didn’t even have the bolognese. I was looking at an old menu on Google. I had an overly salty chicken dish.

[Mik]

Well, you do live in NYC. No shortage there. The spinach pasta was a bad omen.

(I won’t tell you how glorious mine was. That would be cruel)

You know, I’ve never really cared for bolognese. The flavor is good, but everything is minced and reduced too much. I love a penne paste with a chunky tomato sauce with big ol’ chunks of onion, garlic, sausage, peppers, chicken, asparagus, etc… I like the penne ant the tomatoes binding everything together, but each and every bite is a little different… I have some Italian sausage and chicken in the fridge, I think that might be tonight’s dinner…

Funny - we’re having Bolognese again
