Ed's Review

My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

OR

My mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening through a cosmic vapor of invention.

Which of these Hedly Lamarr (a.k.a Harvey Korman in Blazing Saddles) quotes best captures Sunday Pasta this week?

My mind was truly a wildfire, flashing with brilliance and crackling with sparks of ingenuity when I combined these three simple ingredients into a well-oiled skillet.

Alas, I wish I were creative enough to be the first to do so, but many Italians have entered the kitchen before me.

Buon Appetito!
