When The Spouse is Awayโ€ฆ

By February 17, 2010October 4th, 20113 Comments

โ€ฆthe other spouse will throw all dinner rules out the window. At least, thatโ€™s the experience in my house. For whatever reason, when my husband is on the road, our sacred mealtime routine doesnโ€™t seem so sacred anymore. While my kids get take-out or a Trader Joeโ€™s pizza from the freezer, I will get all Prousty with a mammoth bowl of buttered-and-salted Manischewitz egg noodles (the superskinny kind) that I used to regularly wolf down for an after-school snack growing up. My husband does the same thing when Iโ€™m out of town or out for the night โ€” his go-to maverick move is cacio e pepe (above) โ€” pappardelle with olive oil, parm, and lots and lots of pepper.
