My luggage was somewhere else, but no one really knew quite where, and I was unable to retrieve photos from my camera to finish the post I was working on to check in over here.  (It&#8217;s a Spinach and Potato Frittata that is on its way in the next day or so.)<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\">So, as I head out to the MN Food Bloggers <a href=\"http:\/\/gabs.strength.org\/site\/PageServer?pagename=GABS_homepage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Share Our Strength Bake Sale<\/a>, I also want to share a few of the things that were going on while I was out gallivanting and getting stuck in airports that should have gone up last week.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/barilla-pasta-piccolini-tv.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"barilla-pasta-piccolini-tv\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/barilla-pasta-piccolini-tv.jpg 400w, https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/barilla-pasta-piccolini-tv-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/barilla-pasta-piccolini-tv-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><br \/>\nFirst, my first <a href=\"http:\/\/us.piccolini.tv\/video\/mediterranean-pasta-salad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cooking with Kids video is up on Barilla&#8217;s Piccolini TV<\/a>, as in one where we actually cook.  The kids have been so excited about this project, and I love having them involved.  This time we made one of our favorite pasta salads, a variation on our <a href=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/recipes\/greek-orzo-pasta-salad\" target=\"_blank\">Greek orzo pasta salad<\/a> that I first shared a few years ago.<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\">Second, we have a grillin&#8217; get-together coming up with our neighbors.  I&#8217;ve been working with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bushbeans.com\/en_US\/index.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Bush&#8217;s Grillin&#8217; Beans<\/a> to bring you a smokehouse-inspired menu, and I&#8217;m also excited to give away a fantastic cookout kit sponsored by Bush&#8217;s!  Ole is getting our grill ready, and we&#8217;re planning a menu.  (Teaser: Smoked pork chops with an apricot jalape\u00f1o chutney to pair with Bush&#8217;s Texas Ranchero Grillin&#8217; Beans.<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\">So, that&#8217;s what&#8217;s been going on and what&#8217;s coming up here.
