Tonight for dinner I got creative. The scary thing is, dinner actually WAS good. After 20 years of cooking for myself I am getting the hang of this...
I simmered a handfull of chopped sundried tomatoes in some white wine and in another pan I sauteed mushrooms in olive oil. In ANOTHER pan (yes, Mr. C is going to love all of these dishes...) I had about a pound and a half of chicken tenders in some olive oil and cooked them up (I cut them up while they were cooking so they were more like chunks or shreds of chicken meat.)
Then I boiled some cheese tortellini (Buitoni, it was a 20 oz package) and after it was cooked I dropped it back in the pot and mixed it with some pesto sauce (Buitoni again). You don't need to heat the pesto sauce though - you could just dump it all into a really big serving bowl and mix it that way.
Mix the mushrooms, meat, and pasta together, add the tomatoes on top, and sprinkle on some (real) parmesan cheese - don't touch that green plastic shaker can. Pestollini Chicken? Whatever.
Garlic might have been nice somewhere here - maybe garlic bread, or a caesar salad even.
It was Yum-O as Ms. Ray would say..... if you don't believe me, well, click on the title link and go check out the web page for her new magazine (which, by the way, is very good) and find something else to make for dinner.
I'm not really sure where my ice cream maker is at this moment, but some lemon sorbet would be REALLY good right now.
When do I get my own show?

Try a mixture of capers, chopped roasted red peppers, basil, garlic all sauteed in olive oil. Add white wine and pour over sauteed chicken breast or some kind of white fish.
Great... now I need an almost-midnight snack!
wow. I cannot believe that you removed my link. I thought we were friends.
