Is there any one like me who gets excited over leftover pasta? These types of meal really speak to my ‘economy of efforts’ boat mentality. It may take a bit of organizing and a little extra planning of your meals, but if you are going to cook up some pasta why not use the energy once? (effort, fuel or electricity, and that precious water) […]

Now that we have to face unloading and […]
