bi-racial pasta


Alexander decides to begin eating healthy again.  We go to Costco and he shuns many of the things I suggest for him:  the frozen Angus burgers, Food Should Taste Good chips, chocolate covered pomegranates, and mini-chocolate croissants. Instead, he wants a big bag of broccoli, two 8-packs of whole-wheat pasta, multi-colored peppers, whole wheat bread, almond butter (vs. the less healthy peanut butter), and yogurt. 

He doesn't like the look of the excellent chicken with tomatoes I have picked up at Agata and instead makes his own pasta dinner.  I’m in the other room when he calls to me, “My multi-racial pasta looks great.”  I have no idea what he’s talking about.

I come in, and he shows me:  a huge pasta bowl (big enough for three) of whole-wheat pasta mixed with the remains of a box of regular pasta. They blend together perfectly.
