Pasta is a type of noodle of traditional Italian cuisine, with the first reference dating to 1154 in Sicily and first attested in English in 1874. Typically it is made from an unleavened dough of a durum wheat flour that is mixed with water or eggs and formed into sheets or various shapes, then cooked and served in a variety of dishes.


Pasta is divided into two categories; dried or fresh.


Fresh pasta was originally produced by hand but today, many varieties of fresh pasta are commercially produced by large scale machines and the products are widely available in supermarkets.

◦Dried and fresh pasta come in a number of shapes and varieties.
◦There are 310 specific forms known variably by over 1300 names having been recently documented.
◦In Italy, names of specific pasta shapes or types vary with locale.
◦Example: Cavatelli is known by 28 different names depending on the region and town.

NATIONAL MULLIGAN DAY

Each year on October 17, people all across the country celebrate National Mulligan Day.

In a game, a mulligan happens when a player gets a second chance to perform a certain move or action.

This day was created as a day for giving yourself a second chance or, as some people call it, a “do-over”. We can all think of something that at one point in time we have said “I wish I could do that over”, Today, to celebrate National Mulligan Day, take your “do-over”.

According to the United States Golf Association (USGA), there are three different stories explaining that the term derived from the name of a Canadian golfer, David Mulligan, one-time manager of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, who played golf in the 1920′s. A different, later etymology gives credit to John A. “Buddy” Mulligan, a locker room attendant at Essex Fells C.C., New Jersey in the 1930′s. Yet another story according to author Henry Beard, states that the term comes from Thomas Mulligan, a minor Anglo-Irish aristocrat and passionate golfer who was born in 1793.

According to the USGA, the term first achieved widespread use in the 1940′s

HAVE A HAPPY NATIONAL MULLIGAN DAY !

Good Morning CGs!

Scored an ebay deal on a nice 13 pc set of used mac pliers yesterday. I'm happy. I've been looking for some good extended reach pliers for a while now. This fits the bill.

Crappy weather here again. Cool with rain. I am ready for some sunshine again. All this rain makes for a very depressed mood.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Oraire gye!

Glad it's Friday, been busy all week. I am still stuffed from last night - it was my son's birthday, so he wanted to go to Olive Garden. My brain doesn't know that my stomach isn't' 17 anymore.

Have a great day, Gurus!

Gonna do what I can to feel good today even if it kills me.
Have a great guru day.

I dated a girl in high school that had the cutest dupels....

Wow I feel like I was run over by a truck this morning...worked all day yesterday off the back of a Honda 4 Trax with a soil probe. I go like I'm 30 during the day but the morning after is not so pretty....more coffee and a hot shower will help loosen me up....that and my little friend Advil....

Got notified my RaceDeck floor will be delivered next Tuesday so am looking forward to getting the shop project done. Winter is coming.....

Going into Lincoln in the GS to see the skin doc...they found some pre cancer they want to freeze off....I don't argue with them....after my whole life spent out in the sun I am paying the price and they help keep me going...

Have a day in which all things work for the good my brother Guru's......

Morning guys....was here at school early to receive my flu shot. School gives them for free, so I get one. Had students shortly after getting here, trying to finish up things for the end of the quarter. Amazing how frantic they get on the last day.

We only have 1/2 day of school then work day this afternoon for grading. I'm caught up, so it will be a day for me to work in the shop, cleaning, putting tools up, etc.

Not sure what that all means on those links Tommy. I don't feel rich, but according to those links, I'm in the top tier in the world and near there in the US. No complaints, I've done OK in my life. I do own a Corvette which makes me rich by many peoples' standards around here. Most who drive new $60K pickups and/or have $100K motorhomes sitting in their backyards. And tell me how they wish they were "rich enough" to own a Corvette.

Got to go next class coming in.

tee, I don't feel rich but as indicated by the charts I'm sitting on top of the world. My travels have taught me this to be true as I have seen how much of the world lives. That's based on dollar value of course and I'm sure tribesmen don't have a high capita income nor do people fishermen living on boats in the Far East. They eat, sleep and $#!+ like the rest of us. They are not burdened by foolish luxuries like cable TV, cell phones and the need of an automobile. Americans have placed this really strange value on money. There is success on so many other platforms. What fascinates Americans is who's got what. Musicians, sports figures, movie stars and the like capture all the glory. Tells you a lot about Americans.


Go Royals!

Yeah Tee.....and I have heard that some folks have TWO Corvettes....if you can believe that....geez what opulence...

#1 DAUGHTER SAYS DOTTY DOG HAS A STAPH INFECTION, DIPPED HER AND GAVE ME SOME ANTIBIOTIC PILLS TO GIVE HER. LOT OF HOORAW FOR A DOG THAT HAS PROBABLY FORGOT WHAT A QUAIL SMELLS LIKE.

Money = Power.....that still didn't help Obama the other day when he went to pay for a dinner date with his wife and they rejected his card......now that's bad....I would have loved to see the waiters face when he had to tell the President his card didn't work.....

The President, overextended? How does that happen? After all, he would never let that happen to the country, would he? Oh, Wait, he's already driven us to the poor house.....maybe he could go out to his car and print some more!

............He had to use his wife's card.....ahaahahah

Roared into Lincoln and back after a date with a Nitrogen bottle.....damn that hurts....but I try not to show it...other than the piece of harness leather I chomp down on....heck I could do that myself if I could get a bottle like that.....hmmmmm, that looks a bit weird....shhhhh....there that ought to take care of it....

Had the 60's on 6 blasting away from my 7 speaker Bose system.....I'm no audiophile but it sounded damn good to me....especially with the base cranked up.....and me singing real loud also.....

Hmmmm.....well I think I'm relieved....

Well, just got back from our football game. We lost, and I really don't mind losing, but, losing because of a reffing error is hard to swallow. 4th quarter, 1:24 on the clock, we are down 38-36, we have 1st down on the 21. Throw an incomplete pass. 2nd down run the ball close enough for a measurement.....inches short. We call time out and when we come out of the TO, the white hat calls out to the sideline downs keeper that it is 4th down and signals up to me that it is 4th down. I've got third down on the scoreboard and say to the others, that it's not fourth, but third down. The ref puts the ball into play. They stop us on a play up the middle, short of the first down and they indicate that it is the opposing teams' ball. It was like we lost a down for calling the TO. People everywhere are screaming, the coaches in the box with us are freaking out. The two radio stations that are there are both beside themselves,both trying to figure out what just happened. Even if they figure out there was a mistake, nothing can be done.


NOW, on a brighter note. My #1 daughter texts me this afternoon, asking, "IF i can come up with tickets would I be able to come to KC for a World Series game?" I text back, IF you can get tickets I'll take two personal days. About 15 minutes later I get a text that says Merry Christmas and Happy birthday, you have two tickets to game two of the WORLD Series, to watch MY Royals play. I am so thrilled and thankful to my daughter. I told some people tonight and they couldn't believe that she was able to get tickets, they had tried and couldn't get them. My daughter is the best!
