    Spaghetti Western

    Wednesday, May 15, 2013

    Is it me or does this pasta look a lot like fly line? While I typically race in a million different directions, I am literally preparing to head in two very opposite directions (both geographically and culturally) as we are traveling west to Montana and then east to Italy…in all of its pastalicious carbohydrate glory.

The Doughnuts Were Scrumptious

Posted by · 7 Comments
