Can't Decide

After a lazy long weekend we are finally going to get some rain at the end of this week. Things have cooled off and I hope it lifts some fire bans but probably not. After I work 4 days this week I have another stretch of time off, so we were going to go away on a 'vacation' sat-tues. Cassandra and I can't decide what to do. We were going to go to the states but now we have decided it would be easier to stay in Canada. East would be nice but there are forest fires and such. So we thought of maybe Vancouver island.

Do we camp?

Stay at a hotel? do both.

Go to Port Alberni? Victoria? Galliano Island? Nanaimo?

All I guess will be decided shortly because we only have a week to come up with a plan.

Another Pasta Recipe

This is a recipe I found online that Theo and I tried tonight. It was really simple to make and tasted great.

6 ounces pasta
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
1 cup green seedless grapes, halved
1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaf
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped shallots (we used green onion instead)
2 teaspoons capers
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 package (4 ounces) crumbled feta cheese

1. Cook pasta according to package directions omitting salt and fat
2. While pasta cooks, combine vinegar, shallots, capers, mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir with whisk. Gradually add oil to vinegar mixture.
3. Combine cooked pasta, tomatoes, grapes, and basil.
4. Drizzle vinegrette over pasta mixture. Toss well to coat.
5. Add feta. Toss to combine.
