World Pasta Day...have a wonderful weekend!

                                                                 Pasta Prayer

Give us this day our daily taste. 

Restore to us soups that spoons will not sink in and sauces which are never the same twice. 

Raise up among us stews with more gravy than we have bread to blot it with. 

Give us pasta with a hundred fillings.
