The bad thing about being a freelancer is that there are moments when i am temporarily unemployed. I feel that way because for the past two weeks i have only been working maybe three days a week. Technically i still have a job, but i suddenly have more time on my hands. The good thing about such time is that i can try out some new recipes.

With that said, i am officially in love with chef john from foodwishes. My favorite food blogger is still smitten kitchen, but chef john's incredibly easy to follow youtube videos really get to me.

Last night i made his vodka sauce recipe. I thought of taking some photos, but why not just watch his video?
I dunno if new guy actually loved this penne or if he was just being nice, but I loved it, so that's the most important thing.



Vodka sauce has always scared me a little bit because my mom refuses to eat or cook with cream. Therefore i have no previous experience cooking any kind of cream sauce unless mac and cheese counts. Then i saw on jersey shore that snooki made vodka sauce and i realized i could probably do it if she could.

mission accomplished. this was fucking awesome.
