Last week I mentioned that I would post a pasta salad recipe that I was taking to the potluck. Here’s the original Martha Stewart Recipe:<\/p>\n

Rigatoni with Goat Cheese<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Serves: 6
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 lb rigatoni<\/span><\/p>\n

1 1\/2 cups crumbled goat cheese (about 4 ounces)<\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese<\/span><\/p>\n

Topping Suggestions:<\/span><\/p>\n

1\/4 cup sliced pitted black olives<\/span><\/p>\n

1\/4 cup chopped or torn herbs<\/span><\/p>\n

1\/4 cup toasted pine nuts<\/span><\/p>\n

1\/4 cup slivered sun-dried tomatoes<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Cook the pasta in salted water, drain.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Return the pasta to the pot, toss with goat cheese and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Sprinkle the pasta with any or all of the suggested toppings as desired, serve immediately.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So since we were going to a family reunion with a potluck dinner AND it was supposed to be insanely hot out, we wanted to make something cold.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I cooked the pasta and then put it in the fridge to cool it down a bit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I sprinkled olive oil on the cold pasta, mixed it together, then sprinkled goat cheese on it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Then sliced olives and grated Parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>According to the Recipe Analyzer, a serving is about 350 calories.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I took this pasta salad to the potluck this weekend. It tasted pretty good but it wasn’t as popular with the crowd as my No Bake Cookies. I think part of the reason is because there were tons of pasta salads already. Also, it was pretty dry. I probably should have added more olive oil to it before serving it. Oh well! Live and learn. I’d try the recipe again and see if I could get it just right.<\/p>\n

Leaving Washington<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sunday was a really nice day and we drove home from Poulsbo, managing to avoid all traffic. We lucked out. On the way down, we stopped at Burgerville to eat lunch. I was cranky because of my tooth and had decided I would just never eat again. Real mature, I know. Michael convinced me to eat. He said that if I was already in pain WITHOUT eating, why not eat food and still be in pain?<\/p>\n

I got the Halibut fish and chips but instead of the chips, I got a side salad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Fish Minus the Chips<\/p><\/div>\n

I was actually really impressed with the meal. For fast food it was incredibly tasty — especially the salad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The salad was impressively fresh and the dressing was good too. Here is our receipt with my calories:<\/p>\n
