Extra saucy so we can dip the bread. But also because there weren’t quite 8 oz of pasta left in that open box.

Someone who doesn’t bake but accidentally had a bag of flour gave me the bag they had so that cut about 65¢ off the costs.

As a carbivore, this is my kind of meal.

Fresh bread and butter is comfort food.

Some people freak out at the idea of having two large sources of carbs in a meal. The charge in texture and flavor adds a lot for very little money.

Is it just me or do others also like to spread their butter out evenly on their bread?

I kind of go either way on that. In this case, I tossed it in the residually heated oven so that butter was liquid soft and could be spread easily by rubbing it on another piece of bread.
