dressing [the stuff the chicken ended up fried in]

				sliced peppers on the side

Pasta and sauces - typically rotini, with a pound of non wheat based celiac
friendly pasta for Aine

							tomato paste
							garlic
							onion
							italian herbs
[oregano, parsley, basil, whatever is in McCormick"s little jar ;-)]

will make it from milk and rennet and steep the herbs and garlic in the
