Anatomy of a break fast

[magid]

Less than an hour before the fast ends, decide it's finally time to start cooking. Realize there are dishes that must be done first. Do them. Slice three zucchinis incredibly thin. Heat the cast-iron skillet to smoking hot. Cook the slices without oil, in three batches so they don't overlap. Manage not to burn myself. Remember not to taste any. Heat lots of water in the big pareve pot. Realize the fast is over. Have a glass of water. Have a second glass of water. Put the Trader Joe's sprouted wheat pasta in the boiling water. Heat a big milchig pot. Put the remaining two-thirds of a jar of Barilla roasted garlic tomato sauce in the milchig pot. Open and rinse a can of black beans. Add to the tomato sauce. Snack on an apricot. Cut up some cheddar and some mozzarella. Put atop the beans. Drain the pasta. Put pasta with sauce. Let the hot pasta melt the cheese. Mix. Add the zucchini. Mix. Serve.

Verdict: good. The sprouted wheat pasta has a husky mouthfeel (ie with little husks in it), which is unusual, but I like it. Not surprising, given that I like lots of texture in bread, too.
