• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• ground black pepper, to taste

Spaghetti with Tomatoes, Black Olives, Garlic, and Feta Cheese

SERVES: 4

Here's an ideal summer pasta with fresh tomatoes as the main attraction. Feta complements the tomatoes beautifully, and the heat of the pasta and hot garlic oil make the cheese meltingly soft.

ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds tomatoes (about 3), seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1/2 cup Kalamata or other black olives, pitted
• 1/4 pound feta cheese, crumbled
• 3 tablespoons drained capers
• 3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
• 3/4 pound spaghetti
• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

directions

1. In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the tomatoes, olives, feta, capers, parsley, salt, and pepper.
2. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghetti until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain.
3. Meanwhile, in a medium frying pan, heat the olive oil over moderately low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the cooked pasta and the garlic oil to the tomato mixture and toss.

Drama Drama Drama..

A girl dated a foreign guy, and they're having a long distance relationship. Her family disapproves of her relationship, because it caused her to unable to focus on her work. She misses him so badly, and really want to visit him to his country. Of course, her daddy will disapproves. But being a good christian that she is, she dont want to lie about it. So she ask for her dad's permission on going. He started scolding her like mad. And she cried and ran into the room, sobbing uncontrollably while rolling on the floor, while her confused sister tried to ask her on whats going on. She went into the bathroom, and sit on the floor while the water ran on to her. Yes. She's soaking wet. just like in the lindsay lohan video.
