Looking for a good pasta recipe?

Well this has to be the best one ever...

"Boil pasta in abundant salty water, drain and pour pasta in boiling hot ragรน. Mix and serve with grated Parmesan cheese."

She clearly knows nothing about my gastro-intestinal workings:

"I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required."

Treehouse phase 2 complete

All the walls are now up. I need to add some cladding to the outer walls but there is some temporary timber to stop accidents.

Timber is phenomenally expensive these days (it's the Chinese, apparently) so I'm thinking about a flat root instead of a slopped one. My original estimated budget was £150 but it's £400 already. I wanted a cedar shingle roof but that would have been £200!!
