| A delicious dinner prepared by friend Assunta. |
When I was home from rehab after my knee surgery, my friend Assunta wanted to come over and cook dinner for me, but I didn't have much appetite then, so I asked for a rain check. I'm glad I did because last night I was hungry and I really appreciated the delicious shrimp and feta over spaghetti that she prepared. I considered this a cooking lesson too, because I watched as she prepared this simple and delicious meal.

| Assunta preparing shrimp and feta over spaghetti. |
The recipe calls for using a spaghetti squash, but we didn't have one so we used spaghetti instead. Assunta assures me it is better over the spaghetti squash. I'll try that one of these days.
Ingredients:
1 to 1.5 lbs shrimp
3 T olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1 cup diced tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 t oregano (fresh if possible)
1/2 t salt
4 oz feta cheese
2 T fresh parsley for garnish
Directions:
Chop onions and garlic and sauté in olive oil. Dice the tomato and add tomato to onions and garlic.

Serve over spaghetti.

| Ready to enjoy with a small glass of white wine. |
I even lighted a candle for this special meal prepared by my friend Assunta.
Actually I think I "lit" the candle. Perhaps I was lit when I used the word lighted here. Afterall I had a glass of white wine. Oh dear.
