Sure, but I prefer the texture of homemade pasta. Zucchini "spaghetti" is pretty tasty. Zucchini in bread is also great.

I'll be trying my new veggie lasagna next week, and am looking forward to it.

My wife's vegetable lasagna has beans, broccoli, eggplant, carrots, and tofu. She also uses whol wheat pasta when she makes it. I am not sure that I prefer it to "normal" lasagna, but it is very good. Moreover, it tastes incredibly wholesome. I will see if I can find her recipe (if she has one...she is very good at just improvising many dishes).

Did a new Ys game come out? If it did then he's probably been heads down on it.

Bone mentioned a little while back that he'd be out of town with no internet access, for a week I think.

This is actually quite normal for this time of year. Generally people are more active during the winter months, when they are inside and aren't dealing with kids on vacation from school. Things will pick up in a month or two.

Clearly they aren't passing retro down to the kids. A properly educated kid would spend the entire summer with their Super Nintendo, leaving lots of time for the parent to post on Racketboy.

Seriously. Who the hell spends their whole day entertaining their kid? That's the TV's job.

Somewhere above Fastbilly and Luke were talking about making zoodles, that is "zucchini noodles". This sounded great to me, so I attempted to make some myself last night. I made the "noodles" just fine, that is, slices of zucchini strung out in strands not entirely unlike noodles. However when I went to sauté them in a pan, the zoodles lost their consistency and broke down into globs of zucchini mush. Granted, the mush still tasted good, but these weren't the zoodles I was hoping for.

So... what's the secret to cooking up zoodles that end up with the texture and fortitude of actual noodles?
