When my dad was visiting me last week, he made fun of me for buying pasta when we went grocery shopping. This was because he’d already seen my pasta pantry and didn’t understand how I could possibly need more noodles in my life.
(Actually, this picture doesn’t even include the two boxes of whole wheat pasta that I haven’t opened yet. I only use the jars for leftovers.)
I like having a well-stocked kitchen as much as the next person, but I REALLY like having lots of options in the pasta department, which is why I always buy a box or two when I go to the store. It’s like a pasta compulsion. I can’t help it.
Tonight I made one of my most favorite dinners—pasta with kidney beans and tomato sauce (the kind with olives in it- that’s key)—and was feeling very inspired by my fellow photogs updating their blogs every day, so I decided to take some photos while I was cooking.
Protein!
Underwater noodles
Pasta in a giant teacup. It’s very portable.
Finit!
You know what I’m really in love with lately? Fresh pasta. I’m still vying for a food in motion photo op!
