I'm F@#$%&* Starving

I was watching Everyday Food today on PBS. It made me so hungry. Everything looked so good. They cooked a couple of the dishes above (spaghetti carbonara and orecchiette with lentils and arugula). I have a serious weakness for pasta, so it was like torture to watch.
Food just isn't the same when it's blended. It has to be viewed, smelled, bitten, chewed and savored. Enough of the pity party. In five weeks I'll chow down.
