Did I read someone say they can't make pasta on a weeknight? I feel guilty for how much I make, because that is practically the easiest thing to cook ever.
Yeah, but she means make it. Like, from flour and stuff.
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, it was Vortex who said she doesn't do it. I'm surprised she cooks anything on a weeknight, with the amount of detail she goes into. I just toss some stuff into a pot and leave it alone for a while. That's not how she rolls.
Tech guy! Come back from your other conversation and come back to your desk! I have questions for you...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
(FTR, I do not block Vortex, I just saw someone quote it while skimming and was too lazy to go back and find out who said it.) After reading that ragu recipe the other day I bow to her culinary prowess. But I understand not wanting to make fresh pasta on a weeknight. I doubt I will ever want to do that.
ETA2: I'm so lazy, I just remembered I don't even have school nights. I could make pasta all day if I wanted to.

Homemade pasta is like home made ice cream. It's just that much better.
I don't mind the mechanics of making it. It's the drying of it that annoys me. I don't have a rack anymore.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I got my voter registration in the mail! And a good thing, because I just spent two hours making calls for my candidate... Along with the registration was a think saying they are looking for poll workers. I am seriously considering signing up.

Oh! Burrell, I don't think you need an account with Paypal -- I think you can just do it with a credit card.

I will totally do that on a weeknight, because I can improvise the sauce. You, NSM with the quick impro I'm thinking.
Sauces I do often, it's the actual making of the pasta that I can't motivate for on a weeknight.
Yeah, but she means make it. Like, from flour and stuff.
yep. 50g flour, 50g semolina, one egg, dash of olive oil. Knead for 10 minutes, let rest for 30 minutes, then roll out. Tastes wonderful, but there's a lot of good dry pasta out there that's almost as good.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Okay, homemade pasta is making me drool.
I'm still at work (parent-teacher conferences) and will be for another hour. I wasn't hungry during our supper break, but I am now. And I want Vortex Pasta.

This is what I've always heard, which makes homemade even less likely for me. Plus, what a mess.

So, my new jeans are too big, but I only realized this after wearing them for a while. They'll shrink up a little when I wash them, right?
