National Pasta Day


 “Pasta doesn’t make you fat. How much of it you eat makes you fat.”  Giada de Laurentis

The problem is, who eats a half cup serving of pasta?

Useless factoid of the day:

There are about 600 shapes of pasta, and no surprise, the most popular being spaghetti. The rarest shape is called "Su filindeu" from Sardinia, meaning "God's yarn."

Made from a simple semolina dough, the threads are painstakingly stretched by hand into a weave mimicking fabric. 


Good grief. Looks like a recipe for aggravation. 

Speaking of which, tickets for the Mariner's game this afternoon have dropped from the $1000 range to about $150.  Oh ye of little faith...

Well, Friday rolls around again and it's going to be a rainy weekend up here in Seattle. Have a good one.
