Pasta salad lessons

[rikibeth]

Things I learned when helping eternaleponine make pasta salad her The Right Way:

1. Penne and rotini are the only acceptable shapes. Gemelli or farfalle will not do.

2. Store brand sharp cheddar does not taste the same as Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp.

3. The cheese block needs to be cut into NINE parts, nto four.

4. Pepper pieces should also be cubular.

6. PASTA STEAM GETS INTO OUR CABINETS!!!


That, along with deviled eggs, made the only dinner we were willing to face tonight.

Also, Mythbusters endorses not taking a shower during a thunderstorm, so we are stuck being sticky and gross.

O yes, pasta steam gets on and into everything. And it often carries bits of gluten with it, so if you do it all the time, it can build up a tacky coating that can be very hard to get off. I never did find a kitchen-safe chemical good for that. Or for bleach residue, either. (Ammonia came to mind more than once, but.. well, yeah.)

Ah, personality quirks :-)

I always loved how the cheese cubes came out looking like sugar cubes. I also loved how Eponine *eats pasta salad in a certain way. I think it was two pastas and one cheese per bite....

i love when rational decisions are based off of mythbusters.
