Spaghetti Day
Spaghetti...yuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmm!
The History of Spaghetti 

Spaghetti dishes by Region:

  • Spaghetti aglio e olio – ("spaghetti with garlic and oil" in Italian), a traditional Italian pasta dish, coming from Napoli. It is a variant of the original dish, Spaghetti alle vongole.
  • Spaghetti alla puttanesca – (literally "spaghetti whore-style" in Italian), a tangy, somewhat salty Italian pasta dish invented in the mid-20th century. The ingredients are typical of Southern Italian cuisine: tomatoes, olive oil, olives, capers and garlic.
  • Spaghetti alle vongole – Italian for "spaghetti with clams", it is very popular throughout Italy, especially its central regions, including Rome and further south in Campania (where it is part of traditional Neapolitan cuisine).
  • Spaghetti with meatballs – an Italian-American dish that usually consists of spaghetti, tomato sauce and meatballs

I am all about having spaghetti today.  If the traditional fare bores you a little perhaps try one of the many recipes listed here.
And here's an American spaghetti recipe we sometimes eat in our family, Ohio Spaghetti:
Cook a package of spaghetti, drain
Brown 1 pound hamburger with onions
Combine and add to the mixture 1 large can (48 oz) of either V-8 or Tomato Juice
Bring to a boil and let simmer

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
