Today From Bob Schulties, your About Today Editor When I was single, every recipe seemed pretty darned complicated. Put the spaghetti in the water? Where am I supposed to get the water? In fact, I typically skipped the recipe if it didn't call for Cap'n Crunch. Morocco's Famous Chicken Bastilla Whoa! I'm not making this! It involves cooking and building, and I'm only good for one or the other. Combine the two and you might end up with melted LEGO bricks. Wait, it includes powdered sugar?! What is Dim Sum All About? Recipe: Cordero Asado (Lechazo) Making Homemade Pasta Pasta is deceiving. It's just a couple of ingredients, right? I have an electric pasta pusher-outer thing, and the problem is the pasta DOESN'T STOP COMING OUT! So I end up with 43-foot-long spaghetti that sticks togther and never cooks. Then I order a pizza and everyone says, "You should make pasta more often." Forget the box, you can do it yourself.

It's got cheese on it!
