multi-grain flax-seed spaghetti

Is this TJ's by any chance? If so, how is it?

I used to love putting nutritional yeast on pop corn. Mmm mmm.

Yep, it's the TJ's, and very good. Absolutely the best flax-seed pasta I've had, and one of the best whole-grain ones. (The best whole-grain one, IMO, is the Bionaturae, with the Safeway house brand a close second. This isn't quite as good as those, but still yum. Flax-seed pasta tastes a bit different than regular pasta, so you've got to think about the sauces a bit -- I think it would taste kind of weird with marinara, but it's good with something less tomato-ey, and fabulous with something a little earthier, like a sauce with balsamic vinegar or a peanut sauce. Basically, the flax seed gives it a slightly nutty taste, so you've got to take that into consideration.)

Wonderful news about Miss Grace! Yay!

Theo, that guy is an asshole.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

GC, I'm so sorry to hear about your kitty.

My diet has been sadly lacking in actual vegetables lately. I've been getting in maybe two vegetable servings a day. (Today, I think I had just one -- some spinach empanadas for lunch.) I've got no fresh veggies, because nothing at the grocery store lately has looked remotely appetizing. I hate winter. I think I've got some frozen haricots verts. I could heat those up with some sesame oil or something, I guess.

Good to know, thanks Hil. I generally don't do tomato sauce with pasta anyway. I most often do mushroom or greens (often with some sausage thrown in there). So that would probably work well for me.

Thanks, ita. We're about to go visit her again. I hope we're doing the right thing by her. It's so hard to know.

Weekend (all conditional - see kitty news above):

  • Tonight: Eat pizza and play Wii (and see baby) at friends' house
  • Sat: Root canal in AM (ugh) - to Santa Barbara for friend's b-day in PM.
  • Sun: School work, possibly hang with GF's mom
