    Just a follow up to the story originally posted. Our intrepid Pastafarian minister has officially lost his driver's license, but he is not dismayed because: "“I've been getting a lot of exercise. Noodles contain a lot of carbohydrates,” Canuel told CTV. “His noodliness would prefer if we not dwell on the negatives.”

    Who can argue with that?

    "his noodliness" :D

    That sounds like something I'd call our young-yet-hefty cat.

    Love this story.

    (mind you though - not as much as I love pasta)

    Like I said, you are more than half way to being a Pastafarian, hedonist.

    In fact, I think you should take holy orders. It would add a touch of class to the board to have an ordained minister around here. Plus, you are ideally suited.

    Here's a link you can use to apply: http://www.venganza.org/ordination/ . Let us know when you are ready to start performing marriages!

    Our dauntless Pastafarians triumph in this instance against the tyranny of motor vehicles branches.

    I read about this today!

    Do you think colander and sieve are interchangeable?

    And, finally, I have ordered a proper pasta-cooking pot.

    I think that colander is more specific to draining food cooked in liquid, whereas a sieve can be used to separate the fine from coarse in any material. For religious purposes, I think a colander is clearly superior, and more stylish, too.

    The Church of the FSM will open its noodly appendages to you whenever you are ready to join.

    I want to say I'm ready to accept those noodly appendages, but...

    ...I may have a slight problem with the term "noodly appendages".

    Al dente?

    Our pasta, who art in a colander,
    Draining be your noodles.
    Thy noodle come,
    Thy sauce be yum,
    On top some grated parmesan.
    Give us this day our garlic bread,
    And forgive us our trespasses,
    As we forgive those who trample on our lawns.
    And lead us not into vegetarianism, but deliver us some pizza,
    For thine is the meatball, the noodle, and the sauce, forever and ever.
    -RAmen.

    Well played sir!!

    I haven't looked this up so if I'm wrong oh well.I would think the difference is a colander has many holes and is smaller and a sieve has far less holes and can be bigger?I picture a sieve being used in agriculture with grain and corn production.Kinda like a funnel.

    I'm watching some cooking show while waiting for the mud-mask on my face to do its thing.

    The host made her own pasta - just flour and eggs - and it got me thinking about (and thankful for!) whomever discovered and perfected the process. How many tries it must've taken - just the idea alone - then getting the ingredients right but the prep wrong, or the cooking wrong. Kneading it, flattening it, using different shapes for different sauces. Learning to cook it al dente, to mix it with the sauce, to let the flavors marry and get it on for awhile.

    That's amore!

    Hedonist - you think that's something? Take a look at the coffee and chocolate industries - both astonishing end products that are so commonplace and delicious, but in their original forms are absolutely vile, and the amount of processing necessary to extract their goodness is totally mind-blowing. The fact that people took the time and energy to go through the R & D to make something good out of them consistently leaves me flabbergasted.
    Yes! This gets me too. Who even thought something so tasty and comforting and healthy would come from that initial nastiness?

    What else is there in front of us? Second time today - maybe more than that - I go back to "imagine".

    Speaking of the how's and why's, I'll also say that earlier this morning while doing my nails, I wondered what cavemen (encompasses both genders, ya feminists :D) did when theirs grew too long. Did they naturally get lopped off in the course of survival or did they grow and become cumbersome, leading to some form of what we now call nailclippers?

    I bet they used some form of stone to keep those things under control.btw this is fucking nasty.How do you complete the cleaning process after using the bathroom?How do you floss? This is freaking me out and giving me the heebiegeeebies.sheesh

    i think sieve is a generic term and colander is a specific kind of sieve for the straining of boiled foods. I dont know why I bothered to type this out lol, nobody cares myself included! Hahaha
    I'm in agreement that "noodly appendage" is offputting and certainly wouldnt do well in a personal ad or dating profile lol

    This reminded me of the Seinfeld where Jerry was playing Scrabble with his mom, and Kramer came up with "quone".

    "You know, to quone something!"

    Yeah, I think sieves have smaller holes.

    And those nails! Good god. I don't like long nails in general - those ones up there are nightmare material.

    (seems like they'd smell too)

    His Noodliness has no need for a dating profile, sir. And his noodly appendages are fully satisfying for the chosen, by the way.
