They say that necessity is the mother of invention. That was true tonight. I was getting hungry, but I didn’t feel like leaving the house. So I looked around and ended up with a huge variant of sausage and meatball fra diavolo. No beef…but we had ground turkey. No lobster or italian sausage…but we had polish sausage. No red pepper…but we had Montreal Steak Seasoning. No fresh parsley…but we had oregano and garlic salt. No cooking wine…but we had the communion wine from last Sunday. We did have the spaghetti and marinara. And it’s not that bad either. I should have skipped the polish sausage though.

Then order Mo Leverett’s Tender Mercies album for me.

Sometimes I don’t pay attention to the world around me. If I did, I would have known sooner that Marva Dawn was speaking at Whitworth College this week.
