I eat 8 miles of carbs I need all the work I can get!

I married an Italian woman. Dinner tonight involves miles of pasta, meat balls, homemade sauce, and garlic bread.

My wife cooks like an Italian! I had the same for dinner.

I'm half Italian, well Sicilian. I went home from work a little early, it was quiet and I've got a fearsome cold. I hadn't eaten all day. Made myself a bowl of Capellini alla Pesto. Very light pesto, no cream. Almost like aglio e olio except pesto added in, as well as some Parmesan cheese.

Mom and I made it Saturday with grilled shrimp. Our Sicilian family is from Galveston, TX so a lot of seafood is involved.

I just woke up from a four hour nap, and am hungry again. Gonna eat something somewhat lower carb. Possibly. Or maybe chicken noodle soup.

This morning I made my coffee with two Nespresso pods, still had trouble staying awake. Voltesso pods.

That's how I like my pesto.

Feel better!

I customer on my route gave me some Double Chocolate coffee from Santa Barbara Coffee. I have to admit I don’t usually like “flavored” coffee, but I’d buy this one again! I’ll post a pic…..

Monofletch · Oct 24, 2023

I know it’s a long way away, but it seems to sneak up on me every year.

Ryan Thompson · Oct 24, 2023

Put me down.

Fire King · Oct 26, 2023

In again

FliteRN · Oct 26, 2023

I’m in!

I had participated in a number of these in past years under a different account. Good to be back in it again!

In terms of knives and coffee i like anything lefty friendly and usually whole bean light to medium roasts!

dannyp I hear you are a southpaw as well?!

Monofletch · Oct 26, 2023

Glad to see more people involved!

Monofletch · Oct 30, 2023

I have coffee coming from all directions!

Chronovore · Oct 30, 2023

So I tried Jot. I'd seen their ads. It's a cold-brew concentrate. One bottle makes 14 cups and costs upwards of $25 depending. (I got a few bottles at $20 a piece with free shipping.) That's expensive as far as coffee in general but a little less horrible as an instant that can make hot or iced on the fly. The flavor of the regular and dark roasts are actually quite good.

It isn't better than french press or even one of the better European instants like Davidoff. but it is different and brings its own thing to the table. The convenience is certainly there. At least I got to try something new.

I figured that would taste old and stale.

Not at all. They recommend keeping it in the fridge, before and after opening. That's what I've been doing.
