Pasta for the boys

So among other things mom was wicked sick this weekend.

She managed to feel a lot better after her fever broke late Saturday night. On Sunday she decided to have some of Frank's friends in town and from out of town over for dinner on Sunday night, the night after the bachelor party they had the night before.

There were about 8 guys in total. Imagine that, 8 men over the apartment all hung over and taunting mom with stories about the strip clubs they went to the night before.

It would not have been that bad had Frank’s brother Jono not had his mind set on convincing mom that much more than lap dances happened.

This really was mom's opportunity to cook for a bunch of men, Frank's brother being the only vegetarian mom decided to make it an all Vegetarian fiesta.
She watched the Food network all day and decided to make baked pasta. She grilled vegetables, and boiled the pasta and added a good amount of cheese and many other spices and threw it into a huge dish she had to buy at the dollar store and shoved it in the oven.


She served cheese and crackers, salad and brownie cupcakes drizzled with raspberry lime sauce.

Before dinner was ready, the boys sat in front of the TV and all watched the Food network together in peace and quite.
Hmm, it was a really strange thing to watch. Never before has mom been able to have 8 guys over and actually hear herself think.
I guess the key is to get them, all really drunk and partied out the night before so that all you get is their gentle side the next day!

Hi,

I like macaroni, spaghetti and ravioli. I often make it with broccoli and champions, cream and a hot banana.
