Ditto that. I’m not very respectful about disagreeing with liberals anymore. In person I tell them what I think and if they get uppity I let them know that if they keep it up I have a husband who can pull their kidneys out through their nostrils for them.

Good stuff. A lot of the pasta sold in the US is made in Iowa.

I can do that as well and would prefer not to.
Though a liberal friend, who kind of an arrogant jerk, made me do that 7 years ago.
Funny, he’s rather calm, reserved even, these days.
I still can’t get over him saying “I didn’t think you would do all that”.
“Don’t want none, don’t start none”. Particularly if yer aiming for my pretty face and winning smile.
I usually have a very violent allergic reaction.
Most the other stuff I laugh off.

I use their linguini for my pasta with clams in olive oil, and my pasta with meatballs.
