$5 pasta at Pasta Pomodoro on Wednesday.

What now! Is this just an L.A. thing? I like their...something with curly pasta with chicken. Although it was better the first time I had it; either they changed their menu or the places in San Francisco and Oakland have different menus.

PC - they have a 5 for $5, so it's a limited cheap menu. (Are you describing the gemelli with smoked chicken in a cream sauce?)

I don't know if it's just an LA thing or not, but it's wonderful.

That sounds naughtier than it needs to.

First time I typed it it was just "Kat gets around." I edited myself for your modesty.

I wonder if I have a Pasta Pomodoro near me. First I need to categorically work out why/if cream sauces seem to be a migraine trigger unless I make them myself. I haven't seen an ingredient list yet that tips me off. But it's the sort of trigger I can forestall by taking anti-nausea meds ahead of time.

(Are you describing the gemelli with smoked chicken in a cream sauce?)

Yes! Although the first time I had it, it was some other curly pasta. That started with an R. Let me check my records...

Rigatoni! It was rigatoni with smoked chicken in a cream sauce. And they did not skimp on the chicken. It was yummy.

I'll see if they're doing that 5 for $5 here. I'm on the mailing list, and I haven't gotten anything about it.

I'm waiting for sarameg at Starbucks (near the airport) to call me and I realized I don't have her cell number anymore. ARGH.

If any of you have her cell can you text it to me?

Nebbermind. I found it in a 2 year old old LJ post.

Damn you all! I totally want smoked chicken in cream sauce now, but I see that Pasta Pomodoro is only in California! *sigh*

If it makes you feel any better, Vortex, I'm in California and not reasonably near one.

Sorry, Kat. I could have sworn I had it, because she has called me, but I can't find it on my phone.

Is Burbank the closest one to you, ita?

I don't have it either, Kat. I thought I had it in an old email, but apparently not.

Well, the good news is that the stuff I'm working on at work is going far more quickly than I expected, now that I finally have access to the parts of the cms where I need to do it. The bad news is that the stuff everyone else is working on seems to be taking for ever. I'm trying to appreciate our graphic artist's professionalism, but at the end of the day I just want to scream at her, "There's a giant hole at the top of the website. Just fill it with something!"

I guess that makes me a Philistine, but I'm a Philistine with a whole lot of checks in her to-do list's "completed" row.
