Huh? There is no other ingredient as simple to apportion as pasta...
if your eyeballs are broken use a cheapo scale, or a measuring cup
will do. I make pasta salads very often, I always use the entire one
pound box (unless it's a 12 oz box). I used the remains from the
green salad I made a couple days ago; split it into two salad bowls
and added a half the pound rotelle to each, last night's with a can of
red kidneys and the one for tonight has a can of garbanzos, all I
gotta do is mix up the dressing. And since my second salad bowl is
big for the fridge I used a six qt ss pot w/lid... tonight's dinner is
done. And no law says one has to use all the produce they buy all at
once, pick off how many leaves of lettuce, ribs of celery, and so on.
Julie, you're really not a picky eater... from your queries it's very
evident that you want *everything* done for you (Salad Bar Julie),
you're simply a very *lazy* individual, not only are you too lazy to
think, thinking is totally foreign to you. "Pasta salad is
difficult", indeed! And you don't thank folks here except in a
perfunctory/insincere way *after* you've been reminded. Julie you
don't participate here, you offer nothing useful, you're strictly a
taker... you use RFC like your own personal salad bar... only here you
don't pay.
