So good I had to share. Includes: Benefits of Menu planning; Setting up a pantry; and our need for adequate protein - many people & older adults may not get enough protein for maintaining health.
Healthy food is the best medicine. Occasionally fasting with bread and water helps to get the immune system back to action. Lots of fruits and vegetables, fresh and organic, when possible, too. Vitamin C is hidden in different foods, also pine needles.
Slurpy? maybe is the experience I am trying to describe? As compared to a small amount of olive oil rather than being able to eat tomato sauce.
I don't or didn't usually go for a white sauce as milk makes me congested. Tomato is a histamine and salicylate and carotenoid rich food. - On three avoid lists but I have eaten small amounts without the bad histamine reactions that i used to have. It is nice to have variety, but not if it leaves you sick the next day.
Chickpea pasta, eh? I need to try that. I have been enjoying rice noodles lately. RE: emergency food supplies, the best technology is freeze-dried MREs, like products made for camping and the military. These have "up to 25 year shelf life" - I bought mine in 2008, and wake up every morning wondering if today is the day I will need them. Brands include Mountain House, Saratoga Farms and EasyPrep.

JD - that's a yummy recipe.
Thanks NN. It is. I'm having the last of it right now. Spaghetti needs a nice sloppy sauce to really seem like eating spaghetti.
JD - If your sauce is tasty in the first place, there's no need to be excessively sloppy. Much like pith and peel, it's all about Gusto!

"Mouthfeel" is the dietitian word for the tactile gustatory aspects of recipe development.
'Slippery' may be what I mean - I want spaghetti to have a liquid-y sauce rather than be just oily like pasta with olive oil.

The texture is more pasta like when served hot than when eaten as a cold pasta salad. Barilla also has a red lentil, single ingredient pasta too.
