Everywhere around me, spring is doing its thing. The grass is getting green, the flowers are blooming, and I'm looking for ways to work fresh produce into my meals as much as possible.

It's time to end another week with a couple food-related articles. The first is a fun piece on how making pasta doesn't require lots of water and doesn't even require boiling water. Also, don't oil your pasta or pasta water. You'll never make it the same way again. Then we look at an article about what our kitchen say about us and a project in Cuba that captures kitchens and gives us a peek into the lives of their owners.

Oh, and don't forget a sprinkle of grated dark chocolate on top. Mmmmmmmm!
