It's Prince Spaghetti Day!

Are you old enough to remember that one?

Wednesday is Prince Spaghetti Day – well at least in the north end of Boston. Now I did not grow up in Boston, but I do remember my mom preparing 2 lbs. of pasta for four people – it is a wonder that I only had packed on an additional 32 lbs by the time I decided to take control of my weight, my health, my life.

But pasta is one of those things that some of us can just sit around and eat and eat and eat.

Here is my simple solution to not eating too much pasta – or too much of any of your favorite dishes – PREPARE LESS!!!!

And screw the leftover argument. The only place it is leftover is on your stomach.
