I love pasta in all its many shapes and uses. So I check the cooking times for the different shapes and mix all of the shapes with the same cooking times together and put them back in the boxes. Then when I fix a pasta dish I can have several interesting and fun shapes in the same dish. Of course the different shapes pick up the sauce differently.

I have started working with different seasonings for roasted chicken. It is quite simple because half of a five pound chicken after the giblets and back bone are removed weigh about two and a quarter pounds or about one kilogram. This link http://www.wedlinydomowe.com/sausage-recipes/all takes you to a long list of sausage recipes all calculated to use one kilogram of meat and all with a complete schedule of seasonings. I am finding that when I measure and mix the spices and seasoning and rub it on a half chicken and refrigerate it very cold (less that 34 degrees F.)for 4 to 5 days I get a chicken that tastes like the sausage would taste. I roast at 325 F for an hour and 20 minutes.
