That's good. We could call him Manny,...Almanzo. That's good. We could call him Manny, which I still like, though I believe Laura called her Almanzo Manley. I also like Royal (Roy for short), which I think was Almanzo's brother's name, but I've already run that one by the yachtsman, who was not having it.gruelfordinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677750711311287012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917310000157936605.post-83159661044820169772009-10-15T10:25:29.752-04:002009-10-15T10:25:29.752-04:00it is too late, because this was a long time ago. ...it is too late, because this was a long time ago. (and, while it makes me look creepy to start your bl*g from the beginning, like a book, that is how i do things. because it is like a book, a very, very entertaining one that i laugh a lot at.) at any rate, should you find yourself in the position to need a large amount of food, here is what you should eat:<br /><br />ingredients:<br />bowtie pasta<br />pine nuts<br />sundried tomatoes (rehydrated in warm water for a few minutes)<br />spinach (i like a lot)<br />garlic<br />parmesan<br />lemon juice<br />salt/pepper<br />olive oil<br />crushed red pepper (if you like it hot)<br /><br />boil your pasta. you can saute the garlic, to mellow it out, if you please. when the pasta is done, just toss in spinach (the hot pasta will wilt it) and everything else, with lemon juice to taste. great warm, cold, or luke. and it seems fancy enough to serve as a nice meal. enjoy.melissanoreply@blogger.com
