Why do I suddenly yearn for carbs?

A sieve may not hold water but it will hold another sieve.Same with colanders. ☺Uncle Bills famous (infamous?) pasta sauce:♫2 med/lg tomatoes1 med/lg red onion1 sweet red bell pepper1 oz apple cider vinegarsome no-salt Italian seasoning and some ground pepper(optional) mushrooms, garlic(optional) 4 or 5 oz Asiago cheese (no other cheese will do)♫Start water boiling for pasta but dont add salt. Add pasta when boiling. Meanwhile, slice the onion in half at its “equator” and slice off the ends, slice the pepper in half from “pole to pole” after removing stem and seedy core. Place them on a plate and cook in microwave oven for 10 to 11 min (longer if you have an older weaker mw oven). Dice the tomatoes and place in blender with the cooked onion and pepper, asiago cheese (and optional mushrooms and/or garlic if you want). Add 1 oz apple cider vinegar and Italian seasoning. Blend to desired consistency. You may have to add liquid or water depending on your blender and/or the tomatoes used. If you use canned mushrooms you can use the liquid from that too. Makes enough sauce for 16 oz (dry uncooked weight) of pasta. I recommend pasta that can be eaten with a table spoon such as fiore, mini farfalle, radiatore, rotini, small or med shells or elbow macaroni. Enjoy. ♫You may want to cook the onion and pepper differently than in the microwave oven. That’s up to you but they must be cooked. Same with the mushrooms and garlic.

“How’d you know?”Well, gee, we had you on radar for the last two hours. We cleared you for approach. We brought you in to hangar bay 17….. you think it was some kind of surprise?If we’d felt you were a threat, you’d have been Ragu’d an hour ago.

DON’T LET CLIFF MEET THESE GUYS!!!!!

Okay, having experienced every bad cheese pun in the universe. I am not ready to encounter every pasta pun. So, I will see you later, people… :-)

We’ve been blessed by their noodly appendages. They’re less explorers and more missionaries for the flying Spaghetti Monster

“I love, I love, I love my colander girl!”

Plot’s not the only thing full of holes today.

If that’s the whole crew, they’ve got plenty of elbow room in there.

Get ready for the gnocchi gnocchi jokes.

I wonder how they found the R. U. Sirius. Rotelle navigate by gyroscopic inertia, vermicelli by wormholes, and stelle by starlight.

I tried to think of more but I couldn’t handle the strain.

And here I thought they were time travelers longing for the good old days.

Hope they don’t get into any Hot Water..\\//_

Easter is this Sunday. Mark your colander, everyone.

Well, I’d pun on this till I make a pesto myself, but luckily for Kali, it’s weigh pasta my bedtime….I don’t understand, though…what could be grater than cheese puns?Of course, he/she said “bad cheese puns"…. maybe that doesn’t include the gouda ones

I love how food are sentient aliens here.

One fellow did manage to get his drivers license photo made with a colander on his head by saying he was a Pastafarian, and the colander was religious headgear. All hail Flying Spaghetti Monster. (Look it up.)

Do their medical staff practice meatball surgery?

I would have expected a flying saucepan.

It’s not only their ship, but it is also a holey artifact of their people.

I take offense on religious grounds.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster

Mr. Rickard, You have officially reached a new all time low in comic humor.

“The Ceremonial Band will play some Raggaetoni music by our famous Pastafarian, Bob Marcaroni…”

See you next week. I hate these pun arcs. They seem to be getting more and more frequent recently.

I sure we get to see their deity!
