linguine with white clam sauce

...or if we're being precise, that's thin wheat spaghetti in the picture. thin wheat spaghetti with white clam sauce doesn't quite have the same ring nor did it have the same taste or texture or joyousness.

it was all i could find in the pantry though.

i must try to be better prepared in the future.

i've gotten quite good at guessing which foods the geek will and will not like and i was quite certain this dish would fall on the dislike list. even the geek agreed with this prediction.

we were both surprised and amazed when he ended up eating an entire serving. i was shocked when he said he really liked it.

i'm still not sure how he came to eat a bowl of this in the first place. he must have been feeling adventurous - or really, really hungry. either way, it's now one of our go-to dinners.
