I'm not moving until June 10th, but all my books are packed except the cookbooks and 1 shelf of teaching stuff. Last night, I used a cookbook instead of cooking from memory or something online. (Two cookbooks!) So, of course, I'm putting it online.
The Top One Hundred Pasta Sauces was part of an incredibly thoughtful wedding present I received 30 years ago. It was the book, and a fancy bowl for serving spaghetti, and a spaghetti-specific cooking utensil. The whole thing was suited to a grad student budget, and somehow continues to mean a lot to me through the years when I didn't eat pasta because I couldn't pick up a pot of boiling water and pour it into a colander. Last night, Vicki was going to do that part, so I could make a new sauce.
Or I should call it an old sauce that looked interesting when I was reading through the cookbook, looking for recipes without pork or dairy. (Or without MUCH pork or dairy, that could reasonably be substituted.) And without mushrooms or cooked greens or hot peppers...to see if I should bother keeping the book at all. I found a promising-looking recipe Seed calls "Spaghetti con Melanzane e Noci."

It was tasty, but not worth the trouble. Maybe it would be worth the trouble with jarred tomato sauce and a dishwasher and more pots.
