Plan: eGullet Pasta Feast

[Al_Dente]

My conscience is bothering me.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You did the right thing!

I did not quantify how much less that I needed to eat and drink. So don't read too much into that particular statement.

It all depends on what your definition of "less" is.

I can verify that the Varmint was, indeed, asleep in the comfy chair in the living room at some time around midnight. I cannot verify whether he was actually passed out IN the ragu at any point, as I seem to have a memory lapse around then. I do recall that he had trouble finishing the porcini course- I tried to snatch his remnants, but he came alive and snatched back. After that, it's a blur. The grapefruit course certainly stands out, however.

Bill, somehow Hendrik and I ended up with the double magnum you brought! The bottle is quite a souvenir of the evening. Thanks for your generosity with that. (Although actually it was Lianda who felt we needed it- something about she and Hen sharing a passion for baking bread ).

Bill: yes, that was sappy. Very sappy.

Also 100% true about eGulleteers.

Dean: those who have had gastric bypass surgery know that feeling as "dumping." Those of us who have not, know is as uuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh. Any which way, hope the feeling is long since passed.

Just skip that One. Last. Bite. that put you over the edge...(Mr. Creosote - would you like another? It is wafer thin!)
