Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

I've never bought pasta I thought compared to homemade, even the refrigerated, though it's closer.

I don't know that I've ever had homemade pasta. It sounds like one of those things like artesian bread where once I had it I'd want it all the time, so maybe it's just as well.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The Mainpain flowchart arose out of a discussion in someone's LJ, which led to the creation of an entry on Fanlore.

Only if there's no stretch fabric in them.
