Reminds me of an old joke an old old friend of mine made when we used to correspond over the summers:

Why did the chicken cross the road?





To avoid the tetrazini!!

That’s how I have to get some of my ingredients for ramen. Cheaper than unerring to a store that’s far from me.

My favorite pasta is ravioli or other similar filled pastas. I currently have two kinds of Trader Joe’s pasta in my fridge: pumpkin ravioli and cauliflower mezzelune. So good.

I wanna try some pumpkin ravioli! ‘‘Tis then season and all that.

I don’t think I’ve tried it yet. Would’ve had it earlier this month but my roommate said he wanted some so I was waiting for him to make it and share since he’s a cook haha.
Bet it’ll be good though.

Hey guys, I just noticed this new opening today (thanks @Kiwi2016 ) and as Italian fellow couldn't help but dive in!
So, as you all know, yes we Italians do consume a lot of pasta, we have so many varieties, it's at the base of our culinary tradition. I used to be a hardcore pasta lover but since I've been losing weight I've almost cut it completely from my diet and sadly I have to admit my body has felt better. Although my favorite pasta is 'bucatini all'amatriciana', and I make an excellent one, I think you have heard about it (bacon and tomato sauce, bucatini are like thicker and smooth spaghetti); it's typical of my region.

About my desk, I am a bit of neat freak and I try to keep it tidy as possible especially at work but I always seem to leave something out of position, like a pen or paper, to create a sort of little chaos that breaks the perfect balance, to remind myself it's okay not to have everything under control.

Sounds like it’ll be good. Better to share with a friend than alone. :P
I think they actually have some at a Whole Foods near me. And it looks like it’s on sale. Buy it? We’ll see when I get home.

Tysm for the tag @Kiwi2016 & cool theme. I like most kinds of pasta as long as they are the regular white ones and not those gross gluten-free or whole wheat ones, really tried to like them since they are healthier but they just taste too strange for me. Anyway my absolute fave kinds are any of the stuffed ones like ravioli and lasagna. Found a pic of each & also posting some of the many desktop background tiles I've colored on colourlovers (already mentioned this site before dunno if anyone here is a member there or not, it's a really fun site as I said before though) since you also said the thing about desktops lol

Oh dang I just realized I misread and it meant virtual desktop lol But I am the same ways with mine, all folders in neat columns 4x4 lol

 

[Bradamante]

@JMG Cool pics by the way!

Hope everyone's all good 2

Hey all, happy Friday, or Thursday, for all those people still in said day
Thanks for opening @Kiwi2016, and thanks for inviting me @LostGirl22. *grouphug

what is your favorite pasta dish

Oh, tagliatelle/spaghetti carbonara, no doubt. Not only my favourite pasta dish but my favourite meal, period.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

I don't need to clean my desk because I don't have one. :P But I keep things relatively neat anyhow.
And I can't think of what pasta I like best...it's all so good.

Have a good workout @Kiwi2016. Can you let me/us know how you like going to the gym? Once I get settled in a job, I'd like to join one that's only $10 or so a month, but it's a matter of going. I usually walk the track or neighborhood but wondering if gym would be better.

Yes...it is hard getting back into the habit again...so far only doing treadmill or elliptical machine but hope to get back into swimming which is main reason that I joined to justify the expense...

 

[Kiwi2016]

So you have given me great pasta dishes which I will do my best to inspire my husband to make...wish me luck...lol!
