Penne Pasta with Vodka Sauce

September 2, 2015September 2, 2015

Tonight for dinner I decided to make Penne Pasta with Vodka sauce. It was yummy! But here are a few tips. When adding the Parmesan cheese make sure there are no lumps in it … I didn’t have fresh Parmesan I had the bottle of pre grated. Overall a VERY easy meal to make and will make your family very happy!

Ingredients

1 29oz or 1lb can of tomato sauce

1 cup vodka

1/2 cup heavy cream, at room temperature

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

3 cups penne pasta

vodka and tomato sauce — Vodka and Tomato Sauce

Parmesan cheese, Penne pasta and Heavy whipping cream

Directions

Simmer the tomato sauce and vodka in a heavy large skillet over low heat until the mixture reduces by 1/4, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Stir the cream into the tomato and vodka sauce. Simmer over low heat until the sauce is heated through. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and well blended.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta and transfer it to the pan with the sauce, and toss to coat.

Vodka and Tomato Sauce before the cream was added.

The Half Shell At the Pier in St. Simons GA The King and Prince Resort Atlanta Savannah HUNKSrHANDBAGS April 2013 — Sunset at the Pier

After a very LONG day of driving was happy to be enjoying the sunset at the pier in St, Simons, GA. My friend and I found a place called The Half Shell and we decided to eat there for dinner! Good choice! After eating an entire pound of fresh GA Shrimp as our appetizer. We finally ordered our main course. I think it was a Crab Cake kind of night! I had the Crab Cake BLT with Cheesy Grits. Yes I said Cheesy Grits, those were amazing!

Overall it was a wonderful dinner and I recommend the Grandma’s Tea made with Sweet Tea Vodka!

Key West Lighthouse

August 4, 2015July 15, 2015

Who doesn’t love playing tourist … it’s really easy when you live in one of the top 10 tourist destinations in Florida. The Key West Lighthouse is something that I have driven past for years but I never made the trek up to the top. This is where my fear of heights comes in … it’s taller than you think it is and man those steps are small and the spiral part doesn’t help. I did make it to the top … with my heart pounding, legs shaking and Scott laughing at me! He thought this whole thing was hilarious.

“The current lighthouse opened in 1848 with a woman as its Keeper; nearly unheard of during the 19th century. In the years following, the Key West Lighthouse underwent a number of upgrades including the installation of a Third Order Fresnel Lens, an extension to the tower which allowed the light to be seen from a greater distance, the addition of Keeper’s Quarters, and finally the electrification of the light.

In 1969, the U.S. Coast Guard decommissioned the Key West Lighthouse since there was no longer a need for a full-time Keeper due to technological advancements. Today, this sentinel of the sea stands as a museum dedicated to Key West’s maritime heritage and to the men and women who bravely kept the light burning through the threats of war and weather.

Today, visitors can walk up the 88 steps to the top of the light as well as explore the belongings, photographs, and words of the lighthouse Keepers and their families who lived a now obsolete, yet never forgotten, way of life.”
