Two posts in one day, look at that! So I tried a new recipe for supper, even though I didn't have anyone to share it with but the kids. I'll admit, it is a little depressing that they don't really appreciate my cooking yet.
Anyway, we had fresh tomato linguine, and I got the recipe from a coffee break recipe book I've got. It goes like this:
4 cups chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp red wine vinegar
3 cloves of garlic
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Linguine
In a bowl, combine tomatoes, basil, oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. Let stand for approx. 1 hour. Boil linguine noodles (about half a 900g pkg). Drain well when cooked and toss with tomato mixture.
Apparently, it's optional to add cooked chicken strips or cubes to the mixture, but I didn't do this. I also used slightly less than 1/2 tsp of pepper, and I found it to be just right. All in all, quite tasty. It made a lot, though. This could probably have fed about 4 adults. The kids and I did not really do justice to it I'm afraid.
So here's some shots of the dish pre-tossing, after tossing, and served up in a bowl:
This is also a picture of today's loaf of fresh bread. This particular recipe was 5 cups white flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour. It has turned out quite nicely, my best so far, I think.
I've also got some shots of the kids eating our supper, cuz they're cute, and I can.

Wow, you sure are posting a lot lately. It's great! The bread looks really good and so does your pasta dish. The kids are adorable, of course. Thanks for the pictures.
