The Polos brought back pasta from China, oh thou of little erudition.
That's what I said in an earlier post, if you care to scroll up on the previous page. But dys more or less contradicted me and I have great respect for people of a certain age.

I likes to cut an avacado length-wise, twist it so the seed remains in one half, and then scoop out the seed, and eat the flesh with a spoon, having liberally salted it.
Yes. Except I eliminate the salt & add a good squeeze of lemon juice instead, plus a little freshly ground black pepper. Perfect!
