I knew you all were thinking to yourselves “Self, I wonder when she’s going to post another pic of her food.” Well, here you go. | Fetch My Flying Monkeys
Everyone needs a fleet of flying monkeys to rip the stuffing out of the annoying people in their lives
— Laura

I don’t know about you all but I get mighty lazy during the holidays. I don’t know if it’s from all the shopping or from all the drinking but I do know that the last thing I want to do is cook every day. And because I want to keep up my energy, not to mention soak up some of the alcohol so I can go to work and drive to the liquor store to replenish the bar occasionally, I like to cook big meals where I can have leftovers to heat up in between binges. I saw Giada De Laurentis on the Food Network last week making this Penne in Almond Sauce and decided to make it myself.



Penne in Almond Sauce
 


Doesn’t Giada have the most bulbous head you ever saw on television? I believe hers is even bigger than mine, and mine could qualify as a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon, so that’s saying something. Anyway, this is pretty yummy and it makes a ton so I recommend it for those times the fog lifts and you decide you’re hungry and you can say “Merry Christmas, Mr. Liver. Here’s something to help you out and absorb some of that booze.”


 


P.S. I joke about drinking all the time but the fact is I don’t drink much anymore, so I don’t advocate drinking your way through the holidays, unless of course you want to, then it’s all on you. So don’t be writing me and blaming me when shit gets all crazy for you and be all “Dear Laura, I went to go get the ingredients for this and I was all drunk like you and I woke up near the frozen pea section of the grocery store with my panties on backwards and the bagboy winking at me.”

  1. Bob says:

    YEAHHHHH! Dino’s and mashed potatoes…..
    *** HA! They are not mashed potatoes! Ha! but now that you said that, they sure look it don’t they? ~Laura

  2. Joe the Blog Stalker says:

    I can assure you my “panties” won’t be on backwards. Perhaps on my head, maybe.
    *** HAHAHA! ~Laura

  3. Jennifer says:

    LOL! I promise I won’t blame you if I wake up in the grocery store with my panties on backwards. LOL
    *** Good. ~Laura

  4. Mr. Bingley says:

    Heck, I didn’t blame you last time that happened.
    *** HaHa! Well, thank you for that. ~Laura

  5. Belinda says:

    You mean you’re suppose to put the panties back on??? Man, that’s been my problem!!
    *** HAHA! Somehow I believe this. ~Laura

  6. You obviously know nothing about retail employees. The bag boy would be winking at you because the Manager made the kid take video of him assuming his prima nocta pleasures with your drunk ass.
    *** Good lawd! That’s even worse! ~Laura

  7. Bob says:

    Emmmmm! Somehow white creamy stuff with green polka dots somehow is just not appealing to me….. I’m sure it’s very good, but….. I’m just sayin..Ewwww! for me anyway. But I still love the Dino.
    *** If you didn’t like dinosaurs, I’d worry about you. ~Laura

  8. The Nickster says:

    It’s not Giada’s head I am usually looking at.
    *** Ha! I bet not. ~Laura

  9. Jena says:

    That looks like something my cat barfed. Sean thought it was mashed potatoes. He even said dinosaurs don’t eat mashed potatoes. Just saying. Good morning! Ha!
    *** My dinos eat mashed potatoes thank you very muc. And those aren’t masjed taters! ~Laura

  10. LeeAnn says:

    “…I woke up near the frozen pea section of the grocery store with my panties on backwards and the bagboy winking at me.”
    Well, who hasn’t?
    *** Ha! I’m usually in the produce department. ~Laura

  11. That looks rather awesome, Laura. But Giada isn’t as pretty as you are, remember that!!
    Also, it’s not the quantity of the drink, it’s the quality ;)
    *** Well thank you, but I’d like to have her money. Yes, I like a good drink every once in a while- but I like cheap ice cold beer occasionally too. ~Laura

  12. Larry says:

    If you woke up wondering what happened, all you would have to do is check You Tube.
    *** Ha! And search “frozen peas”? ~Laura

  13. Nicole says:

    Sounds yum. The penne, not the bag boy. I’m not that desperate… Yet.
    *** Ha! Never say never girl. ~Laura

  14. Erik says:

    Watching Giada is like food porn. I can sneak in some here and there, but if my wife catches me, I’m like “I was watching the recipe, it sounds good.” And she’s like “Yeah, and her bending over and showing her boobs – you didn’t notice those – right?”
    Only the blandest of foods for me for a few days after a stomach bug had its way with us over Thanksgiving. My wife was uneasy about watching Walking Dead last night, but I wanted to – so there.
    For drinking, I need to see if the liqour store has my Sam Adams Winter Lager in.
    *** Yeah, she like to show her cleavage and white, white teeth, though I’m sure you never noticed her teeth before. ~Laura

  15. Belinda says:

    Ya know, that creamy stuff with green peas just sounds like a disease! LOL
    *** Dayum. Like VD? ~Laura

  16. rdennis says:

    Panties? How in the hell did you know I wear panties?????
    Damn! Now I have to start looking for all your secret cameras and stuff!
    By the way, did I ever mention I have found dino bones, here on the ranch? Would you like to come see the dino bones sometime? Oh, yeah?
    Well tuff tookey! At least not until you remove the damn cameras taking pictures of my panties! Sheesh! The nerve!
    *** Yes! I want to see the dino bones! And I can just picture out there cowboying with your lacey panties on. I mean, I really can see you. I shut down that camera. ~Laura

  17. Brea says:

    Hey, at least the bag boy is winking, not screaming about a “Clean up in Produce!”
    *** Oh lawd. And they have to clean up wearing hazmat suits. ~Laura

  18. Oh. My. God. Are those…peas?
    *** HA! YES! Gooey nasty peas!! ~Laura

  19. Hailey says:

    I like Giada, even though she just seems too damn happy.
    *** That probably comes from having all that money. ~Laura

  20. Jan says:

    I think Giada only looks like she has a bulbous head because she’s so skinny. Girlfriend needs to eat more of own recipes.
    I don’t drink at all, so I’ve never ended up in the frozen pea department with my panties on backwards. And if any bagboys were winking at me, I’d be really worried. If they’re young, they’re probably underage, and if they’re older, they’re losers who can’t hold a real job.
    *** All the bagboys where I shop are “special needs” guys. I had one yell at me when I tried too tip him because they have a no tip policy there. I was so embarrassed because everyone turned to look at me like I did something, like molest him or something. I loudly said “SORRY, I DIDN’T KNOW YOU SHOULDN’T TIP HERE!” And then I ran out. ~Laura

  21. garnet says:

    That looks good. I may try to make it.
    *** It’s good. Might need more spice though. ~Laura

  22. lifeshighwy says:

    I have never noticed Giada’s head. I am always waiting to see if she will drop something down that prominently displayed chest crater. Girl should wear a chest apron.
    *** She does have some big boobies and likes to show them. ~Laura

  23. Vis a vis peas ~ time for my best Nancy Kerrigan impression:
    “Wwwwhhhyyyy???? WWWHHHYYYY?!?!?!?!?!”
    *** Well, you can skip putting peas in I reckon. Maybe some carmelized onions? ~Laura

  24. Heather says:

    Watching the Food Network channel makes me want to cook all kinds of weird stuff.
    *** It’ll do that to you. ~Laura

  25. Becky says:

    Well, I think it looks good even with peas in it! I mean, all that cheese, it has to be good.
    *** It is cheesey. ~Laura

  26. Mary Beth says:

    I totally love that “wake up with your panties on backwards” line. Where else but the grocery store can something like that happen! lol
    *** The dentist office. ~Lara

  27. Maeve says:

    Have you ever watched “Semi home made with Sandra Lee?” I like her show, she ALWAYS has some sort of cocktail to go with what ever she is cooking up.
    *** Yes! I like that she boozes it up at the end. I also like that her food is a lot of store bought stuff thrown together. I also like that 5 ingredient fix. I got some good easy recipes from there. ~Laura

  28. CGHill says:

    I’m sticking with the Barefoot Contessa. I comprehend her recipes, for the most part, and unlike rather a lot of people on the Food Network, she looks like she likes to eat.
    *** Oh, I get more recipes from here than anyone. Her Parmesan Chicken is J’s favorite. ~Laura

  29. Lorie says:

    I love watching the Food Network.
    *** Yeah, if I’m not actually sitting there watching something, the Food Network is generally on. ~Laura

  30. Brit says:

    Hmm…there’s a cute bagboy at a store near me…
    *** Ha! Go for it! ~Laura

  31. Jeffro says:

    After much consideration, it has occurred to me that while the time I’ve aged is linear, the time it takes to recover from a binge has gone logarithmic.
    *** Oh I know, right? Takes me days and days to recover. ~Laura

  32. mel says:

    I don’t like that Giada woman and her food doesn’t appeal to me either. But I’m glad you enjoyed it.
    *** Yeah, this is the first I made of hers. She usually uses too many Italian ingredients. Not that I am anti-Italian ingredient, but I don’t normally eat much Italian- same with Rachael Ray. ~Laura

  33. Pat says:

    I’ve been meaning to try this recipe.
    I’ve always thought she looked like a lion. Her hands are quite big, too. I guess to match her big teeth.
    *** And doesn’t she have the whitest teeth ever? ~Laura
