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!
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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.)
