I'm not head of Catering! I am Vader! I can kill Catering with a thought!

OK, anybody remember the Lego Darth Vader Eddie Izzard routine I linked to a few weeks ago?

The boys have been saying "Death by Food Tray it shall be!" and "All right, I'm Jeff Vader!" and "Give me Penne a la Arrabiata or you shall die!" ever since I showed them the link (to my delight, they have not repeated the f-word parts) and the other day I got curious, went looking, and found:

http://recipes.epicurean.com/recipe/4161/penne-alla-arrabiata.html

Ingredients:
4 cups- ripe roma(plum) tomatoes
half an onion sliced
4 cloves garlic crushed and chopped
pinch of basil
pinch of crushed chili pepper
fresh chopped parsley
extra virgin olive oil
salt to taste
500grams (1 lb) of penne

Directions:

1. Begin to boil the water for the pasta, peeling and seeding the tomatoes and chopping coarsley while you wait for the water to boil.
   
   
2. Begin penne.
   
   
3. In a sauce pan, brown onions in the olive oil, then discard (onions).
   
   
4. When the pasta is al dente, put the tomatoes, garlic, chili, basil and salt in the saute pan and cook over high heat for four minutes.
   
   
5. Put in the penne and parsley, continue cooking for one minute.
   
   
6. Serve with grated aged pecorino cheese (parmesan works too).

We had it for dinner tonight. It's quite good.

This was especially funny to come home to since I just got back from seeing Eddie Izzard in Portland. (He mentioned Vader again: "Luke... do you have any Skittles?")

I am sooo jealous! I had only ever vaguely heard of him before seeing this Youtube thing, but then I started clicking on the "related" vids and damn, he's funny!

Action Transvestite!

We discovered him about 2 years ago and promptly tried to lay hands on everything he'd released. He's just so amazingly clever and quick witted.

(Hm, don't have any Eddie Izzard icons any more :P)
