George, great to hear that the audience last night was reacting so well!

And most enjoyable posts and photo about the Baileys Vanilla Mint Shake Irish Cream Liqueur!

I called sn imaging center seven times to set up an appointment for x-rays. I finally got through (eighth time is the charm?) and made an appointment. But I was also told x-rays don’t need an appointment. Argh!

My mom’s homemade noodles will always be my favorite pasta. I don’t have the patience to make it myself.

I made pasta once in a cooking class. So I bought a pasta maker at a Goodwill. I gave it away after it sat unused for 10 years.

I love rigatoni in a hearty, rustic sauce with sausage, garlic and tomatoes. I love couscous with plenty of butter cooked in. I love macaroni and cheese, even in blue box form. I love pasta puttanesca with extra anchovies and capers. I love homemade chicken noodle soup.

I love all kinds of pasta.

Other than many amazing pasta dishes Skip has made -

For restaurant dishes - the Penne Gorgonzola at a restaurant that used to called Pietrasanta on 47th Street and 9th Avenue was a real favorite for several years.

Do Chinese noodle dishes count for the TOD? 

If so, a delicious shout-out to the Chow Fun at Ollie's on 42nd Street near 9th Avenue.

Wish I could eat that. But no more gorgonzola for me.

I'm moving cautiously; around 6:45 this morning, I had a bad fall. I keep forgetting I'm ancient, and when I move too quickly, I lose my balance. This morning I took a swan dive next to my bed and landed hard on my side, Nothing broken, but I have a badly skinned elbow. It took me around 15 minutes to sigure out how to get myself into a position where I could stand.

Oh, no! :-\ Hope you're feeling better!

Thanks, Freddie!  I don't know when I'll open the bottle, but I'm sure I eventually will.
