Ed's Review
I don't like militants. They seem to come in so many nasty shapes and sizes these days. Militant this or militant that. Across the spectrum, so many people just want to fight it out.
But me? I'm a pastafist. Yes, I believe in the power of pasta: to feed, nourish, bring together, satisfy, and gently make people happy and get along.
So forget war. Put down your dukes. Here's to pastafism! And with this week's Sunday Pasta, let's give peas a chance.
Buon Appetito!
