My wife and I gave it a solid A. Mina gave it an F minus. Everyone's a food critic.

You lost me at Somalia. It makes me think of starvation and military coups. Not something a person wants from comfort food.

I get it, there are some places in the world the mere mention of can kill your appetite.

Kinda the same reason I stay away from "Rochester pizza".

I'm more bothered that you didn't just make a tuna casserole with egg noodles. I can't think of a worse protine to add to a speghetti dish.

You all let me know how you like it.

I'm actually impressed and a little jealous of your culinary skills. I just wanted to bust your chops so I don't sound like a faboi.

Some of those words were spelled correctly.
