Note to Self!


Don't ever buy buckwheat penne again, it has the slimy texture of slugs and they look like aortic valves of dead sheep.

  1. I loathe any pasta that isn't pasta-coloured.

  2. I thought I'd try going gluten free for a week, hence the buckwheat pasta. I also bought some cakes from the "Free-From" range that turned to dust in the mouth. Vile!

    1. Meat is gluten free. Much nicer. Jx

    2. My gluten free week was scuppered on day 1 when a flyer for Domino Pizza was pushed through my bristled slot. I love man meat in gravy but not animal meat, I can't even pass a butcher's shop without shuddering, I'm not bad with cooked meats but I can't call myself a vegetarian because I'm fond of midget gems, you can buy the gelatine free ones I know, but they don't taste the same.

  3. Bleeeurgh! I can't abide pasta in any form.

    The picture, when I saw it all tiny and compact on my Sideboard looked like a pile of aborted piglet or mouse foetuses.

    1. Bleeeurgh indeed, even my maid of all work curled her lip at it, talk of aborted pig and mouse foetuses would have her drooling.

  4. I just got over a session of vomiting from my booster shot.

    1. They were all stuck together like dogs, when I prized one off it left a stalactite of slime. Turned my stomach too.

  6. I like buckwheat pancakes, but I agree, those noodles look gross and unappetizing. I like spaghetti squash as a change up from pasta noodles. Make sure you squeeze out the excess water with a clean dish towel before adding sauce.

    1. I have a spiralizer that does interesting things to vegetables, it's gathering dust in the cupboard.

  7. I can't stand pasta in any form either. What is the point of having it when you can have potatoes? Potatoes are gluten free. Pasta makes me cross, it is so yuk.

    1. Have you tried gnocchi? Little potato dumplings, they're very claggy and stick to the roof of your mouth but delicious.

    2. I like pasta - but I cannot stand gnocchi. It reminds me of those lumps in a bowl of Smash when you haven't stirred it properly. Nasty. Jx

  8. Why do people feel the urge to fuck with pasta? Don't try to pass off some counterfeit slop on unsuspecting noodle lovers.
