Oh, but you’re making me dredge up such weird memories.

First pasta: Hand cranked pasta machine, Greenwich Village cheap $200/month apartment (that should give you the setting). Bathtub in kitchen, brick fireplace. Cockroaches in hiding. Two kitchen cats. I cranked and I cranked. I hung pasta threads everywhere(staying away from known cockroach homes). Cats wrestled. Fur flying. Fur on pasta. Lots of fur on pasta. I figured the fur would come off kwhen I boiled the pasta. But wasn’t sure I could serve it. But man – was the sauce (sauteed bones with tomatoes, herbs, onions,peppers) ever good!
