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.

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

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?

There is definitely a difference, and I prefer it when I have time to make it. Having the pasta roller is a big help, and it's much less work to make it for one person.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

And I want Vortex Pasta.

Made with real Vortex?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I realised the only dried pasta I buy is shaped. I have fallen out of the habit of making my own flat pasta, but not gotten back into buying it.

Surimi Vortex just isn't the same.
