Well, Rosie seems to be on the mend. I, however, have caught her cold.

Dinner last night:

Linguine with Clam Sauce and Baby Portobello Mushrooms

* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 3 cloves garlic, chopped
* 1 (8 ounce) package baby portobello mushrooms, sliced and chopped
* 4 (6.5 ounce) cans chopped clams with juice
* 1 cube chicken bouillon
* 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
* 1 teaspoon dried basil
* 1 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
* 1 (16 ounce) package uncooked linguini pasta
* 1/2 cup butter


1. Warm olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic and mushrooms; cook until mushrooms are tender. Stir in clam juice, chicken bouillon, parsley, basil, oregano, and Worcestershire sauce. Increase heat to high, and bring to a quick boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3. Stir chopped clams and butter into the sauce; simmer 15 minutes more. Pour over cooked pasta to serve.

Deep Church
Jim Belcher, who pastored our church in California, has written a book offering a "third way" to do church, a way that incorporates the best of the emergent movement and the traditional church. I've read the introduction and first chapter, and can't wait to read the rest. We loved Redeemer Pres. so much that we drove 45 minutes each week to attend.
