Pasta salad with striped bowtie pasta? [link]
One of my friends made me a birthday dinner with that pasta (before the dreaded gluten-free thing came up). Yummy AND appropriate for my color scheme!
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Can one fall in love with a pasta? I think I am in love with that pasta. Or at least a serious crush.

Yes. Because I fell in love with that pasta. It's one of the reasons I'm hoping I can eventually eat gluten again.

Dangit, Jilli, now I have to make pasta for lunch!
(Mushrooms sauteed in butter, olive oil, garlic and Vermouth, adding and heating up a little leftover roasted chicken, tossed with rigatoni and baby spinach with hot pepper flakes. Little Parmesan.)

Whoo, I should not have typed "The Night Circus" into eBay on a whim. No way I can afford it, but a tempting, tempting auction: [link]

Any suggestions for a 12-year-old girl who has liked The Hunger Games, The Mysterious Benedict Society, Incarceron, and Miss Peregrine's Home among others? She especially likes things with puzzles and/or math. Her parents are conservative but fairly tolerant about what she reads, but I wouldn't want to recommend anything on the sexy end of things.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The Secret Series, by Pseudonymous Bosch! I heart those books so much. Lots of codes and puzzles and such.

Huh. I didn't realize what The Westing Game was about. Now I want to read it.
The Secret Series sounds good, but maybe a bit young? (I mean, I would read it, but she may be at that age where there is a cool factor involved.)
