And, since Ann asked what the pasta with my beautiful roast beef was, I'm obliged to tell all of you.
SORTA PASTA FLORENTINE
1 pound mini penne
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach
1/2 can diced tomatoes or 2 tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 onion, minced
30 turns fresh ground pepper
garlic powder
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, and add the penne. Return to the boil, add the frozen spinach, and cook for 11 minutes. Pour into a colander to drain, and cover the colander with the pot lid. Pour the olive oil in the pasta pot, and return to the heat. Saute the minced onion for 1 to 2 minutes, then add the tomato and cook for 2 minutes more. Stir the pasta and spinach combo into the onion and tomato mixture, and add garlic powder and pepper to taste. Stir in more olive oil as needed to moisten the dish. Serve at once.
Also, for those who wondered, I can't thinly slice anything without this wonderful slicer. This is the turkey I made last night coming off the slicer.
The meat is held on a carraige which is pushed back and forth across the blade; you can make the slices as thick or thin as you like. This one was on clearance from Penney's for about $50, and, believe me, it was worth every penny of the cost!

Thank You :) Thank You :)
Thank You :) It's on the menu for this week end!
I have to get one of those meat slicers. Saw something similar on a cooking show today! Looks great.
The pasta florentine looks and sounds delicious. I would love to have your meat slicer - I was wondering how you cut your roast beef so thin.
That does it. Make room -- I'm moving in with you! :-)
I have always, always wanted a meat slicer.
My parents bought a slicer like this when I was a child (and they were still married). I don't know what happened to it, but it would come in handy I'll bet.
Wow, what a wonderful slicer. I remember watching the local butcher slice ham and bacon on one for Mum when I was little. I'm very impressed
And super thanks for the pasta recipe - very easy to scale down to Mickle size and I wont have to share with Zebby!
p.s. - the word verification that has just popped up is "coldicat" - how did they know my Zeb is more and more sleeping under his quilt?
I wouldn't be without my slicer either........it's some of the best money I've ever spent!
Oh yum. I'll be having that for dinner the next night the Knight isn't home.
I'd like a good meat slicer..I had a cheap one once, and gave it away!
ANYTHING with spinach in it is good in my book, but this looks (and sounds) fantastic! I would love a meat slicer, but since I can't afford meat very often due to prices here.... *sighs*
I actually think the green looks beautiful!
Great slicer!

wow, your very own slicer for $50? what a steal!
and hey--even cats and dogs feast on grass every now and again... :)
Nice deal on the slicer!
So that's what you used to slice that beautiful roast beef. I gotta get me one.
Grass for dinner sounds good to me and I have all the ingredients. (The cupboards are bare around here I've been sick for days:)
