This is some sort of Japanese (?) variety show (?). Watch closely.

Oh dear god. No self-respecting man can watch that entire video clip.

Kara's Perfect Pasta Salad
Category: food
A yummy way to use up veggies from your 'fridge.
Ingredients
1/2 box rotini pasta (corkscrew)
1/3-1/2 cup chiavettas italian dressing (or an italian version of your choice - for me, only the 'vettas will do)
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper
(assorted veggies as you see fit - julienned carrots, peas, and ripped spinach would be good additions. I just did our grocery shopping tonight, and as such had very few true leftovers available.)
Steps
Cook pasta until almost done - DO NOT OVERCOOK. See my Southwestern Pasta Bake for what happens when pasta goes horribly, irretrievably wrong.
Drain and rinse with cold water.
Dump into a large bowl or a casserole dish - whichever will fit in your fridge the best.
Drizzle the dressing over the pasta.
Toss in the veggies.
Chill. Or eat. Or chill then eat.

This is great! I needed a pasta salad recipe, actually.

Happy 100th post -

I saw two cocker spaniels on our walk this evening that rivaled Abby in cuteness, but only because they were a double threat and one looked to be an eight week old puppy.
