Jessica will cook you pasta!

My friends and cookie party co-hosts, This Frontier Needs Heroes, are fundraising on Kickstarter for their next album. One of the reward pledges is having Jessica make you a pasta dinner, for which I had the pleasure to devour last night. Fusilli pasta and tomato sauce with sausage and broccoli rabe. She also made a nice bean and escarole soup. So stuffed. Their NY Italian landlord came by and also confirmed its delicious. Speaking of which, we drank a bottle of The Sopranos Pinot Noir.

They already have four backers in Connecticut, Michigan, Florida and Cardiff Wales for this pasta dinner. So hope you guys like the preview. Check out the other rewards on their pledge page and stay tuned for their Austin & Brooklyn backyard parties Sunday March 14th to celebrate their Kickstarter project.

My roommate Russ, is hoping to Kickstart his at-home partying next week. $50 can get him plenty of of Coors Lights. He might be willing to paint your nails.

For this review, I get tomatoes thrown at me (in the comments). No one gets my eating Pizza Hut’s Big New Yorker Pizza in New York joke. Poor delivery? …get it? Pizza delivery? shit. —link

Domino’s BreadBowl Pasta – Triple Carbo Load!

Domino’s Pizza now has the new Bread Bowl Pasta. It’s pasta in a bread bowl, duh. Carb on carb, so I got the Chicken Carbonara. The actual product looks flatter than the ads. You can say it falls a little flat. Bhahahaahwwaaaaa. Basically it’s like a pizza with some pasta on it.

There’s a lot of negative comments just on the idea of the Bread Bowl Pasta. But I think it’s awesome. When I was little, I invented the Spaghetti Sandwich –spaghetti and meatballs between garlic bread.  I also created the Tator Tot Po’ Boy.

Dominos – $1 off ordering online …One bad thing is that I didn’t know where I was picking it up until after I ordered. Had to walk 30mins. And then some old man wanted to punch the Domino’s employee in the face because he didn’t want to make change for his parking meter.

oh hey, hey oh. pizza place by work salmon fish platter with choice of side –i choose you pasta w/ chicken chunks, shrimp and broccori. salmon fish is like big stuffed fish, fake lobster, real shrimp. it makes great seafood platter! with chicken chunks it is truly chicken of the sea!

super felice bros sound/look like blues traveler make out with black lips. we see girl dancing with unicorn. new justice of the unicorns album cover? her mother drags her away when i take pix.

rusty wonders why people dodgeball. “why would you want to get hit by a ball on your day off?”

we go home and rusty makes spicy turkey popcorn wrap w/ special sauce.
– cock sauce, mustard, mayonaisse, pepper, adobo, lime juice, cilantro.
…sooo good. we use leftovers to make turkey popcorn pasta ….w/ cilantro of course.
we eat & watch the olympics. why every match is USA vs CHINA? because they so hungry?

Verdict: pasta w/ refreshing crispy crunch
