[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the ziti poster. This is literally the first time I've ever typed the word "ziti" on DCUM and I've been here for 15 years. For dinner this week I made chipotle chicken enchiladas with homemade pico and guac, a cajun blackened chicken fettuccini with red, green, and jalapeño peppers, onions, and lots of garlic with a side salad with citrus vinaigrette, homemade black beans burgers and homemade fries, and we ordered Indian and pizza because I work my ass off.

But do keep telling me how I don't know how to cook and don't like flavor. I am experienced with people and hosting enough to know that you don't make coconut curry fish stew or strongly flavored chicken with fruits and nuts and olives for a group whose tastes you don't know well. And a veggie-filled pasta plus a meat pasta (white or red sauces) with a lovely salad and fresh bread are crowd pleasers that are no heavier than whatever fancy steak and polenta you snobs are suggesting. I bet if I called it whole wheat cascatelli in a smoked gouda and fontina sauce with caramelized onions, roasted balsamic tomatoes, and garlic spinach and spicy chorizo manicotti with ricotta and basil pesto you'd feel differently.

Food snobs are the worst: if someone invited me over and wanted to serve lasagna made with Prego and Lucerne Ricotta. and bagged salad I'd eat it happily, because ain't nothing wrong with that. But anyway, you're not invited.

Thank you. Fish is never an option unless you specifically check.
