After a tough day like today, GIVE it to me.
- Regular spaghetti. Thin noodles. Angel Hair. Or a combo. Doesn’t matter.
- Fetuccini. Linguini. Tortellini. Anything with “ini” works. Not discriminating.
- Bow Tie. Corkscrew. Elbow. Lasagna. You pick it. Just be sure you have enough for 3-4 helpings.
- Red sauce. White sauce. Butter Sauce. Makes no difference. Put the pot down. Hand me the spoon.
Roll it in front of me.
Give me a stick of butter, a salt shaker and a fork.
And stand back.
I need ten minutes of quiet time…with me and my pasta.

ok, smart bum….
That in my world is called ‘pastina’ and not LASAGNA…. when that pasta is baked, and that’s what you’re referring to, it’s called ‘Pasta all’forno’…. all said with a passionate smile. ahem!
My stomach hurts from laughing.
better digestion!
Good answer!
You might take a moment to explain to my readers and me how you landed on “Bentpeople” as your blog handle. Or perhaps you have already done so in a blog post – we love to hear the back story on this…
And if you parents give you like a real first name (unless it is “Bent” – they I sincerely apologize for being rude), would be great to know.
My name is Adriana, named after an iItalian actor that rocked my mother to her core (Adriano Celentano).
BentPeople; because I’m a yoga teacher and bending is my thing… but honestly, I am inspired by anything that bends my perspective… my ABOUT page gives more.
Wonderful story Adriana. Thanks for sharing.
You’re gonna wolf all that down in 10 MINUTES?
Slow down, man.
I’m afraid so. You’d be shocked at what you’d see.
And – you’re still trying to lose weight? How is the fast eating working for you?
Laughing. Working like a charm. (for the duration of inhalation)
I’m kind of drooling……here’s to eating all your troubles away!
Here here….
Yes, yes, yes!!! Nothing to beat stress like pasta. Two thumbs up, Dave. Enjoy!
You too Pal! I knew we had common bloodlines!
Delightful!
Thanks!
Just finished off a bowl of ziti, homemade meatballs and sauce, topped by some melted top shelf parmesan cheese.
And I am very happy…

OMG. I’m drooling….
Food is the cure to all our problems! My boyfriend would agree with pasta to push away all his problems…for me, its my mixing bowl and recipe book
Yes, I’ve noticed Kim. Your baked goods are killers (meaning that good)
Too funny. Just saw this last night and was going to email it to you cause I knew it would stir you up. I agree there is no bad pasta.
You are correct!
LOVE Pasta, any shape.
Me too…
Nothing like a plate of pasta to cure what ails you. And, bentpeople, are you available early for Italian lessons?
Sure she is!
Hurray! Let’s hear it for pasta lovers everywhere. Or maybe I should rephrase that….I meant lovers of pasta.
good catch!
Ah, a fellow pasta lover! EnJOY!
Yes…there are many among us…:)
Exactly…it takes so little to make me happy!

New quote for me…I LIKE it…thanks Juli
High carb/high fat simulates serotonin and dopamine in the brain. Proof positive that food is a definite drug of choice for some of us (okay, most of us).
All the big words must mean it’s good for you!
Sorry! I’m so used to talking about the Feel-Good brain chemicals, I forget they aren’t everyone’s top priority!
Laughing. You are correct. Not mine (a priority) either.
We ARE related!! This is my go-to comfort food…buttered pasta..sigh…it’s been too long.
Of course we are! (related)
So very true! Pasta can take away so many weary days! Love the illustration!
Yes, illustration was so me. Creator nailed it
Add a nice loaf of crusty bread and a lovely, full-bodied Chianti and I am ALL IN! I’m with you, David–any shape, any color, it’s all good.
Bread, Booze and a Bucket (of spaghetti) – what could be finer Lori?!
I had pasta last night, too, and finished the rest for lunch today. You made me laugh
pasta totally makes everything better
Sweetie! Wow, what a privilege to have you show up on my blog…it does make everything better.
[ Laughing ] Your post and the comments – I was on a roller coaster ride.
Tell me about it!!!!!!!!!!!
Get on this Bus Ioanna!
