At last! I am done with writing recipes for a Filipino German magazine which will be published soon as they are for the Valentines´ Day issue. I can now think of other things to do. I had my grocery shopping for the first time this year today. I am glad there were not many people doing their groceries. I have not only bought food but also boots for myself. I was not looking for winter boots but when I saw them in Aldi for only 10 Euro, I did. I am already hungry again. It is half past 10 in the evening. We had our dinner at 6 pm. I had antipasti, grilled tomatoes, 4 pieces of Tortellini pasta and 2 sausages. I was full after that but now, I feel hungry. It is very seldom that I eat snacks after dinner but I think I will look for something to eat. Anyway, have a wonderful Thursday/Friday everyone. I hope your day is good. Thanks for reading.

I do not shop at Aldi's but a friend of mine does and she complains they have such great deals that it's hard to resist them. Your meal sounds delicious.

Aldi is a good shop. Well it is good in Scotland and I imagine they would be the same all over the world.

Your dish looks delicious, we do not eat tortellini as antipasto, but why not? I cannot buy shoes at Aldi they start with the size 37 and I wear 35.

@thelme55 Bought tortellini taste really bad, I make them myself every year and I eat them hot with a sauce or in a good broth , cold they are horrible. My correct size is 34.1/2, that I used to find in the past but I cannot find anymore, so I buy 35 and I have to go out to Italy to buy because here in Switzerland they start from 37 that is enormous for me, even with thick socks.

I am not fond of tortellini but my husband does. I cooked for him tortellini and put 4 pieces on my plate to try, again. It is still the same, I don´t like it much. You have smaller feet than me. I have 36 but I bought size 37 for boots because I wear thick socks in winter. Thanks and have a nice evening @LadyDuck

@LadyDuck I am sure that homemade tortellini tastes good. Sometimes, I fit in a 35 size of shoes depending on where was it made. I used to buy my shoes in the children's shoe shop.. Every winter, my feet shrink.

We do not have an Aldi in our town, the closest to it that we have is a Walmart. Your meal looks so good, I'll bet it tastes so good too. I am excited for your recipe in the upcoming edition of the magazine - hope you can share it here too once it is already out, and if it is alright for you to do so.

Yes, it tasted so good @Raine38. The magazine is only sold in Germany and maybe in our neighboring European countries. I can´t share the recipe here as it is already owned by the magazine. Thank you.
