5. You said "Psghetti".

[Crystal Clarity]

6. Yum! The bread looks good too!

:9

[Bucky]

7. Who's

If you get a tattoo, have a friend spell check it for you. A friend you trust, I mean.

[jobycom]

9. Maybe it was a truncated part of a longer sentence?

Something like, "I have a friend whose "Ready for Spaghetti" album is one of the best ever!"

But yeah, proofreader there, too.

[Bucky]

27. There shouldn't be a question mark in your subject line.

[jobycom]

29. Why not.

It was a question?

[Swede]

12. Ahem.

[stuntcat]

8. Spaghetti Ready!

:toast: :fistbump:

I'm having Indian Fare from trader joe's tonight though, mmm

[Chan790]

10. All three meals today were pasta! Yay! n/t

[old mark]

11. I'd love it, but I'm on low carbs....no pasta since last January...

:(

bettter for the blood sugar, though...

[MorningGlow]

13. Me too

:( I miss my pasta and taters. (Imagine--an Italian not allowed to eat pasta. It's just not right!)

[Petrushka]

16. My daughter sometimes substitutes vegetable spaghetti squash for pasta and it's delicious.

[Chan790]

19. It is!

Don't try pesto on it though, I don't know why because pesto is a great vegetable topper in general, but the combination is terrible. I think it's because Spaghetti Squash is a little too sweet. It just doesn't meld well.

OTOH, one of my favorite recipes is spaghetti squash with soysage (sweet, not hot if you have a local vegan soysage maker like I do. Otherwise Boca works.) and roasted onions and peppers.

[MorningGlow]

22. I have tried that in the past

It's not bad! :) I also make a sausage/basil/tomato cream sauce, put most of it on penne in a pasta bake for Mr. MG and reserve some for myself--put it on a scoop of ricotta.

[old mark]

18. You have my sympathy....

:fistbump:

(every so often, I NEED a pizza, though....)

[MorningGlow]

23. Every Friday

we get a pizza from the place up the street for Mr. MG and MG Jr. and because their sauce gives me agita, it doesn't bother me that I don't get any. However, I do get a plain calzone--and just eat the innards. Okay, I snitch a few bites of the dough too... ;)

But if at any time we get a pizza from this other place the next town over, called Salvatore's, watch your digits, because I will NOT stay away from that pie!

[old mark]

24. Not to be racist or whatever, but there are a lot of Italians where we live,

and I have always found that usually means a lot of good markets selling fresh produce as well as some really good restaurants...we are fortunate to have both nearby...our favorite Italian restaurant is owned by a couple who immigrated from Sicily, cooked for a decade or so in NYC, moved here...it is THE best Italian restaurant I have ever been in.

Now I'm hungry....

[MorningGlow]

25. LOL no that's not racist

We ARE good cooks and value high-quality ingredients! ;) Now, if you had said that every Italian in your neighborhood is in the mafia...which I always have to hear from ig'nant Anglos...well, that's another story! ;)

[old mark]

26. My good friends from grade school and high school were mostly Italian...

my "second family" was Sicillian and owned a little corner market with some of the foulest smelling cheeses in the world, and wooden boxes of dried codfish...they were great people, and I will never forget them.

[MorningGlow]

28. I grew up in a suburb that was mostly Italian and German

Lots of immigrants, including my own grandparents. I know those corner markets with their unique smells VERY well, and I love it. In fact, the village I live in now is about 40 minutes from my childhood home turf, and I will still travel to my mom's neighborhood to get my meat, bread, and uniquely Italian foodstuffs like dried garbanzo beans and Neapolitan cookies from one of those markets. I walk in, take a deep breath, and feel like I'm home again. :9

31. have you heard about Dreamfields pasta?

It has far fewer net carbs than regular -- something about the process they use makes it mostly fiber even though it is made from semolina. Only 5 net carbs for a serving. I had some tonight. And I am on restricted carbs.

My supermarket carries penne, spaghetti, and curly. It's slightly more expensive than the usual dry pasta. $2.49 pkg. today.

[Callalily]

14. Hope you made enough

for everyone!

I'll bring the wine.

[Roon]

15. The soup kitchen had spaghettie and meatballs this week

mmmm!!

[WillParkinson]

17. You spelled it wrong...

My husband insists is Spegetti.

(I know, but I already married him and it's too much of a hassle to divorce him.)

[Chan790]

20. LOL!

My former roommate, the Wall St. economist, insisted that pasta refers to 1 noodle because its' singular and thus used to ask for more pastas.

[sarge43]

21. Always ready for spaghetti.

Garlic bread, green salad, fresh fruit, a nice red wine. Doesn't get any better.

[Dr Morbius]

30. I've recently developed a marked preference for bucatini.

I am a pasta freak.

Here are a couple pictures:


Bucatini is essentially hollow spaghetti; like a skinny macaroni noodle which goes on and on and on. In a marinara sauce, the slight difference in texture appeals to me. Yes, I like spaghetti, but prefer spaghettoni (thick spaghetti) to spaghettini (thin) or vermicelli (angel hair) with tomato sauces. Thicker bucatini is called, fittingly, bigoli.

[lillypaddle]

32. I am! And coincidently,

I made a huge pot on Saturday. Today I'm making Chicken-a la king. I like to cook in advance for the week and freeze some, too. Oh. And lima beans with ham.

[libtodeath]

33. Awesome looking.

Drooling now.

[annabanana]

34. ALWAYS!

[MilesColtrane]

35. Tonight it's meatloaf with new potatoes and snap beans.

I made my monthly trek to the produce stand a couple of days ago.

They've got tomatoes there, REAL luscious, tasty tomatoes, not the crap they sell in stores.
