Traditional American Italian food -- veal parmesan, eggplant parmesan, meatballs, shrimp fra diavolo, things that combine chicken and broccoli. I didn't make it up: [link]

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think most of my Italian familiarity is of the red sauce sort. Except I don't think I eat anything with chicken and broccoli.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I dated a woman who divided Italian restaurants into Red Sauce, White Sauce and Fish.
"What about risotto?" I asked.
"That's different."
As it turns out: lots of regional variation in Italian cooking.
As a general rule of thumb, Northern California tends to have more Northern Italian type food, and the East Coast tends to have more Southern Italian type food.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I had pear-cranberry pie this afternoon! So now I have tasty proof of the existence of pear pie. Which appears to be very filling, as I wasn't really hungry for dinner.

The comments are hysterical -- one of my favorites:
I read some 4 and 5 star reviews by those who used this device successfully to change a baby while driving. On that basis, I bought one. I put my baby on it and drove for over an hour. It did not change. Same baby. I am glad it worked for some people but I will be returning mine. (The steering wheel desk.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Heh. Yeah. Unified Italy is younger than the United States.

I discovered RSS feeds only this week, ita, and I'm all OMG.
Being out of work is really improving my techgeekery, which isn't high, but still: I've started a blog, gotten hooked up with RSS feeds and switched my browser to Firefox. And if I didn't have to have Windows to run my iTunes, my techgeek BF would have me switched to Ubutu.
I also worked on job applications, cleaned and organized my home office area, and made this week's grocery and menu list (which include Tday, so extra foody.)

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
There's this poster up at work encouraging coming out at the workplace. It has thumbnail pics of people that did and apparently felt better.
I'm sure this is coming from a good place, but it feels icky to me. Like it's putting the onus on the gay person rather than emphasizing creating a safe environment in which the person feels comfortable coming out at work. Probably not articulating it well, but I know I'd be annoyed by such a poster in the workplace.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That's the vibe I get too.
My first thought on "lesbian evangelist" was that this woman is a lesbian and Evangelical Christian, which might be an unusual enough combination for her to feel like coming out about both.

bon bon, was it Alessio? The one nearish us is Vitello's, which is where what's his name Robert Blake shot his wife (that IS Old School!) but it's mostly delish -- though heavy on garlic.
