One thing I don't understand is why more people don't make their own pasta. If you haven't done it, watch a few episodes of pasta grannies and get out your eggs, water, and flour, because homemade pasta is much better than the dried stuff, which can be pretty good itself. And it's really easy.

I will say, though, pasta gets better the farther north you go in Italy. In the south, the fish is the main show, the pasta a (very good) side event. But one taste of pasta with walnut sauce in Northern Italy and every other dish plays second fiddle.

Team veggies and carbs here. I went meat free in December of 2020 and it was the best move ever. For me, bowing down to my craving for carbs -- as long as I am burning them off -- was like coming out of the closet. Once I went vegetarian, a lot of other health issues disappeared.

I stopped regularly eating red meat a month ago and have noticed I feel a bit less groggy and sluggish in the AM. Usually ate fish four nights a week, but now moved it up to every night. Better sleep, I think. Doesn't tax the system as much.

But there'll definitely be a sunset on this, as I'm running out of recipes with which to experiment. And chicken and turkey are painfully dull foods.

It's summer. Just grill the fish and put sauces on it. There are endless sauces and endless varieties of fish to grill.

I have been. Cycling through Mexican flavoring, then traditional (capers and lemon), and varieties with tomatoes and diced onions. Or just baking it in French butter with the sauce from the capers (that brine can season almost anything well).

Oddly, I've not had much interest in tuna steaks. I think I overdid that and can't go there anymore. Which is good, as they're $40 a pound.

Perfect lunch combination that works: Chilled poached salmon smeared with lemon butter with a side of tzatziki. (Good real tzatziki... avoid the stuff into which they sneak sour cream).

ETA: Catfish in french butter and cajun seasoning with a dash of, yes, you're reading the name correctly. That sauce is fantastic on almost everything.

Same thing and couldn't sleep after eating but it wasn't just red, it was chicken and fish also. Stopped all meat for a short time and realized I didn't need it, never went back.

I feel like I've stepped into one of the classic Buddhist stories, where all the educated civilized people are talking of the benefits of vegetarianism while some lower class types stuff their face with barbequed pork, smiling broadly.

The sole use for pork is chutney delivery.
