Did You Ever Wonder Why........? Yet Again

The pasta is one that fascinated me until I started cooking. Have you ever tried to stuff a noodle? Also it's much easier to string certain pastas into a necklace than others. Plus the shorter pastas are easier to make mac and cheese with and aren't quite as messy as longer pastas. School buses are easier to see in among trees and shrubs and in the fog if they are yellow. Plus the manufacturers had an excess of yellow paint so why not use it on school buses? Shoot, kids would love to go to school on a red bus or a blue one. Saying "Cheese" loosens the face muscles and makes you look like you have an easy smile rather than a forced one. Even the most sour person will look somewhat pleasant if they are saying cheese. Of course if the mice hear "Cheese" they may flock to where the picture is being taken and there may be utter caos with the people that are afraid of mice. Plus every cat in the area will come running for the chance to catch a mouse. Another thought for the baker's dozen, it could also be the fact that the bakers weren't too good and it was easier to get rid of the excess by giving away an extra pastry to the person than tossing it out after closing. Plus the customer will discover that they got an extra and will come back. Hummm, I have a bossy Siamese stomping back and forth across my computer, I think it's a serious hint that I need to settle down a bit before I head for the bedroom. She's busily loving my finger and rearranging the computer screen. UHHHH it's a definite "Get the hint STUPID" hint from a very bossy cat! So it's good night until tomorrow. Freya adds her "YEOW, purrrrr" which is cat for good night.

Well, different sauces call for different shapes of pasta, but this is something that only Italians usually appreciate.

would include what I am sorry I did not understand..eggs? Sorry

I was told my a baker the extra one was for the baker to taste what he fixed.

Interesting musing. I asked a waitress how many breaded shrimp would arrive if I ordered a meal. She said at least six- the cook measured out 7 ounces and whatever fit into 7 ounces, that is what was on my plate. Eggs do come in not as regular shapes sometimes but the folks who sell the eggs weed those out- I hope to bakeries and such and not to a dumpster.

Interesting. I hope you have a good afternoon and evening.

I wonder why you would wonder why... I think the baker's dozen came about from the buyer eating one on the way home and then complaining they only got 11...
