Where The Sum Is Sometimes Better Than The Parts

I'm one of those folks who reads cookbooks for fun. Sometimes I don't have the correct ingredients, so I make do. Sometimes it even tastes good. And sometimes, if I'm really lucky, a miracle happens.

Pastabowlaties

     I bought pasta bowls yesterday. I've been looking for the perfect bowls for some time. I wanted them to be big enough for a generous portion. Maybe sides high enough to hold bouillabaisse or chowder and a hunk of bread. Or I could use them for a dinner sized caesar salad with grilled chicken...
    I found them at Ross. At $4 each I could hardly lose. Well, actually they're made in China so they're probably filled with lead or some such thing and I'll wind up poisoning my guests, in which case we'd all lose, but I digress. Generous size, high sides, interestingly shaped, inexpensive. I'll take six, and take my chances with the lead.
  These are some of the eggs my girls crank out, used here for scale. Yes, one is green. Dr. Seuss would be proud.
