COMMENTS:
After several minutes of eating, Aynex gave this a 10. Later she wanted to replace that with an 8, but was not allowed to do so because she had gone back for seconds! P and I gave it a 10. The remainder of the guests were too busy eating to offer an opinion.
Pasta is always better when shared with good friends. The conversations were animated, and on occasions rather low brow, and the laughter was infectious. Good taste prevents me from providing any specifics.
