Cheese Tortellini with Sun Dried Tomatoes

Yesterday we had a Memorial Day celebration at Jim’s cousin’s house.  I took a tortellini and sundried tomato dish.  It is so simple, Jim could make it.  But when a dish is simple to make it delicious, you must use very good products.  The Cheese Filled Tortellini by Di Amante came from Costco.  You open the bag and you know by the smell that you have great cheese filled tortellini.  They are dried and it takes 14 minutes to cook.  The sun dried julienne cut tomatoes packed in EVOO were also from Costco, by Bella Sun Luci.  The recipe also came from Costco.  You know how when you walk around there are offers to taste.  I tasted it and was sold.  The portions are simple.  I used half the jar of sun dried tomatoes and half the pasta.  I was feeding ten, with a lot more dishes.   We have a small amount left over for tonight.  We are having a late dinner as we drove all over the countryside looking for a suitable kennel for Max.  We are flying to PA for Erin’s engagement party.  If it was great, they were booked for the summer.  Finally we called our vet and he had room.  He only takes clients.   The kennel is cute and you could eat off the floor, but no indoor /outdoor kennels.  They walk the dogs four times a day in a large lot, but no fence.  I am worried, but we are now warned.  There are not enough good kennels around and if school is out, they are booked.  The one we liked the best is already half full for Christmas.
