He likes his spaghetti blue
At least, that was the verdict when I asked him how we should celebrate his birthday dinner. “Do you want me to make your favorite (plain unadulterated pasta) at home? Or do you want us to take you out somewhere?” I asked. He pondered it over for a quarter of an hour before replying. “Let’s […]
