Pork Lo Mein
Lo Mein is a great way to sneak in an extra night of pasta in the week. I mean, you can’t expect the family to tolerate pasta too many nights in one week. If you’ve got Sunday pasta with gravy, and another dinner planned with pasta and other mix-ins, how can you sneak in another night to get your full pasta fix? By calling the dish by a foreign language. Then the family believes you’re having Chinese food for dinner and not serving up more winter, hibernation comfort food for yourself. Lo Mein by another name would be a pasta dinner with pork and vegetables. But Lo Mein sounds foreign, more exotic, less redundant, more diverse for my ever so deserving, discriminating family.
I’m so glad I’m clever.

Got something to say?
I think cleverness makes food taste better for the clever one. While your family had a serving of Lo Mein you probably had the best third serving of pasta this week.
You’re so right Mike. Nothing like tasting your own secret as you eat. It’s the best table seasoning around.
