Today is National Spaghetti Day and spaghetti happens to be one of my very favorite foods. Partly because I love the flavor, especially when I make my own version but also because I like the texture. I love those skinny little noodles and I like to twirl them on my fork. I had a college friend who had no sense of taste but had very strong likes and dislikes when it came to food. When I asked her once how she knew what she liked when she couldn't taste anything, she said it was all about the texture. Some food just felt better in her mouth. Today I didn't have the ingredients or time to cook up a big pot of spaghetti (I do this occasionally and freeze individual portions) so I opted for a bowl of Raman noodles. Don't sneer, I like Raman noodles and their texture is similar to spaghetti. I only add one cup of water to my Raman so it's thick, not soupy. I also add whatever I have handy. This evening it was chopped cooked chicken and some frozen broccoli. It was quick, easy and quite tasty. Cooking for one has definite advantages.
