I have two teens of the blue variety and they aren't picky about food...that said, I have one who is a scallop fan and one who "I'll pass," is the general opinion. That's okay, I got to have a couple more that way...mine were not as large and lovely as yours, but still very nice.Kaytehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892296035070233639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850658802486564843.post-23060062548198561942011-03-28T00:20:42.847-04:002011-03-28T00:20:42.847-04:00Homemade pasta is always impressive!

I can not even believe you made a homemade, flavor coordinated pasta to go with this. 2 gold stars at least :) In addition to the wonderful results, I am not sure what I enjoyed more...the trip down Red Lobster lane (I can so relate - Nana and I still talk about those wonderful cheese biscuits that leave a big loving grease mark on the napkin....) or the comment about wrinkling your nose for other reasons.
