Dinner Out! Hmmmm....

My hubby said "Honey,...you pick!...Let's go out to eat!" I jumped up and said .....,"Let's do Italian! Oh, what a treat!" The waiter came promptly, handed a menu to me There are too many pastas.... Oh, what will it be?? These names on the menu....so many to try I'm confused ....what to order...just pour me some wine!! Penne is money, and Linguine....a far away place?? Ditalini......sounds like a medicine.....when an ailing heart races!! Fagiolini.....or Rigatroni......aren't those Operas to sing?? Canneloni is a weapon!....And (un) Ravioli....which is happening to my brain!!! My poor hubby is starving....grabs his fork, and starts to doodle So I finally make a decision......."Waiter,......just bring me some noodles!!"

Carrie, I posted a quick Doctor Phobia contest to get some laughs and reduce stress before the doctor visit. Three forms: limericks, clerihews and rhymes of 10 lines or fewer. Hope you'll check it out. Love, Carolyn

:) Really enjoyed the way you had your own "translations" for all those Italian dishes, especially Ditalini (digitalis?). I've made cannelloni and prepared rigatoni for the first time last week. Used eggplant instead of noodles and it was delicious! Best wishes in the contest with this truly witty piece! Love, Carolyn
