Mostly Hallmark, but also some other stuff including books! We gripe a little about TV channel apps. Amy has a beef with the Garage Sale Mysteries and the willy-nilly exchange of actors and characters. Amy’s dog, Vivian Pickles also makes an appearance. We also talk about our love for Brooke Shields and how we would like to see her in more of these movies. We also talk about fostering dogs (and foster failing).We also talked about the best cozy gift you can give (it’s a wearable blanket).

When it’s boiling add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain, but reserve the pasta water.Meanwhile, as the pasta cooks, heat up a large skillet to about medium high and crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk, adding a little water. Add a small teaspoon full of pesto. Add a tiny bit of salt and some pepper to the eggs. Give it a final stir/whisk to combine.When the pasta is done and draining, and the skillet is hot, spray it with cooking spray and pour the eggs into it. Be sure not to let the eggs brown, moving them around quickly. They’ll cook fast, as soon as they’re almost set, throw in the pasta and the rest of the pesto. I didn’t measure the pesto so I’m guessing it was about ¼ cup but honestly could have been more. Measure with your heart.Make a little well in the center of the pan and toss in the cream cheese and a little pasta water (like ¼ cup). Stir to melt the cream cheese but make sure you’re moving the eggs too so they don’t brown. Alternatively, you could mix the cream cheese and pesto together before putting it in the pan.  Taste and season with salt and pepper adding more pesto, or pasta water if needed. This episode was recorded on January 18, 2023 and released on January 22, 2023.Socials:Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/cozylandpod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cozylandpod/    Twitter: https://twitter.com/Cozylandpod     Say hello at: cozylandpod@gmail.com Credits:Hosted by: Melissa Oliveri and Amy Lotsberg Produced by Melissa at Phaeton Starling Publishing and Amy Lotsberg at Collected Sounds Media, LLC.Theme song “Electric Cozyland” and segment music by Cannelle https://melissaoliveri.com/   Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
