Getting back to cooking was more of a challenge than I expected. I'd been crashing on a project for the past 10 days (10 hour days, lots of writing) and was just drained. Better now after a couple long sleeping nights and some down time.I still didn't have the energy to go to the store (especially after paying the gas, car insurance, two credit cards, rent, and health insurance bills today). But I did have the need to eat. Thankfully those two aspects of my life were not conspiring together against me.
I had half-n-half, the last runty piece of parmesan, butter, flour, penne (whole wheat), frozen limas, and a whopping hunger.
I went heavy on the pepper, and was unfortunately light on the cheese. Ended up being a good thick, creamy, cheesy, peppery sauce that coated all the pasta and beans. Not a bad thrown-together-in-haste meal.
Still sometimes amazed that I can just say "I'll rumage in the pantry," find ingredients for good food, and just make it.

That looks really good. I have to remind myself to shop from my pantry first sometimes, too - it's a nice surprise when you can make something delicious from things you already have on hand.
The bean salad you posted after this looks great, too. (I'm amazed - two vegetarian meals in a row for you!)
