OOooo! Pasta e Picelli ....
Havn't had that is ages.
I could go for that now! ... Gram used to giggle how the peas would be hidden inside the macaroni's which were usually shells.
When I was a little boy...well shall I say Young, but Not That Little, "She would sing a song to me about how the peas were hiding from me, and she would make me find them and eat them so they wouldn't hide any more!" LOL...she was just getting me to eat peas.

Everyone's meals sound so delicious today!
Oh Joe you just killed me with that picture. That looks amazing. Love the shape of the pasta too.Did someone say pasta??????? I bought a new toy today and made Ricotta whole wheat Cavatellis with my sauce and homemade meatballs. Delicious!
The "toy" makes short order of a pile of these babies. I can hardly wait to make some more with different dough variations.

I bought some fresh catfish today and decided to grill it. I simply and generously seasoned it with Old Bay and stuck it on the grill, then it got a good drizzle of lemon butter. I also made hush puppies and coleslaw, but forgot to put the coleslaw on my plate. We also had a little cottage cheese.
Looks at the crazy hush puppy, it looks like a dinosaur. Hahaha!

Where the heck do they sell them? ... The family loves Cavatill's but I am so tired after cutting and rolling out like a three hundred of them\, and there is never enough!
We always called them "StrangolaPreti" ( Strangle or Choke the Priest in Italian,)
Ha Ha ha...Mom used to holler at me and bro if we didn't dring in between forkfulls of the cavatelli. She had it stuck in her head...the story of the Italian Priest that ate so many cavatelli, and they blew up (swelled ) in his stomack, and he got sick and died!
OMG what a story that was!. My Grandma the same story; so it might have been true??
My mom made them light, and my Grandma and aunts all made them like lead bullets, and especially aunt Angie, she made them Big. I love them when they are big and doughy! Ha Ha Ha ... I like when they are sticky and make a snap when you bite them. Ummmmmm!!!
She made

I'm gonna have to get Mommy Nature and see what she says!!
That's the way I like the broil...Oh My..it must be nice and tender? Right?
Those glazed outers on the slices make it really enticing..
If it were a toss-up between macaroni's and sausage / and that meal...The meal would definetely win. OOoooooo! And the black pepper...My Way!!!

Mommy is away, and she will be back tomorrow. ( Oh! Boy!)
She bought me a Arby roasted ham and swiss for lunch so I could have it today, but I saved it for supper instead. I had a nice one of my home made dlei half sour pickles with it. A small beer ice cold at 35º temperature. Not at the standard beer serving temperature of 40º...but It went well with that Sammie.
I was too busy with the deck and the yard...I have no time to cook.
I did just now make a banana cake. Gosh the kitchen smells so good, and I had the exhaust hood on too. I can't wait to dig into it. Oooops! I forgot to take out the butter so it's nice to spread. Umm! Maybe some cream cheese softened.

No-knead pizza dough topped with home made pesto, grilled chicken breast and mushrooms.
I bought my machine at the local Italian grocery store, Alesci's, for $39 +tax. It's the Cucina 530 with wooden rollers, and they are available online at dozens of vendors. Here's a site listing a bunch of vendors and many different price points... http://www.thefind.com/appliances/info-cavatelli-maker
I would call around if you have an Italian grocery/importer to see if they have one before buying online. The shipping costs are all over the board, and my local sales tax was just $2.40...a lot cheaper than $15 +/- shipping costs.

Oh! Yes...mee too..if I was London Broiled as much as you are. LOL LOL
Peep, I / we used to have steaks and London Broil / and pork and veal..almost every night. I was usually the cook because T was always working singing meat 6 day's a week, and sometimes late evenings. Real PITA job, but Hey! It brought home the bacon, and with her job...that was literally the case!
Its a beautiful thing, and I miss those steaks. She cannot eat meat like steak and I refrain from cooking it for myself because she will watch me eat, and it makes me feel so badly that she can't have it. When she is away...I crank up the grill and do up a steak for myself.
Now you got me thinking about JoeV's Cavateeeel's!!! LOL...
Did you Goog to see where they have them machines??? I saw one in Italy! Only thing is if it malfunctions...how are they gonna honor a warranty.

Amazon has it for 44.95... No Tax..Free shipping...
I figured the tax on top the 39.99 + Gasoline for T to drive there = around 7.00
I would have to go with Amazon..
