More on pantry contents + a recipe for roasted baby potatoes

After my first post yesterday, I realized how much I left off the pantry list.  Michael has diverticulosis (and has never had an attack of diverticulitis, probably because our diet is so high in fiber.  We try to avoid white bread, pasta, and rice, and eat whole wheat bread, farro pasta, but we love those fresh new potatoes that are dug out of the ground in late summer and in the spring, the baby potatoes that are so easy and quick to make.  Preheat oven to 450°, rack in middle.  Wash, dry, put in a bowl, pour a couple of tablespoons of EVO over, sprinkle some Kosher salt and chopped up rosemary, or the Erbe Toscane, mix up to coat and then spread out on a baking or cookie pan.  Should be done in 30 minutes, because you're doing this to fresh, small potatoes. 

Wow!  Quite a digression from the pantry list!  And the high fiber diet!  Oy. Back in my single days, I was frequently called "Rosanne RosannaDana".   If you know this character (my beloved Gilda), and you know me and my digressions, that nickname will ring true.   More on the pantry:  always have on hand some canned San Marzano tomatoes, both the whole ones, and the crushed, particularly in the winter.  In the summer, you can make your own.  Different kinds of beans and lentils. 

More on foods always on hand:  I always keep a container of mixed, pitted olives in the refrigerator.  Plus fresh feta from the farmer's market.  

I'm working hard figuring out this blogging thing.  I know it will eventually get easier.

Later.
