Spaghetti, penne rigate, rigatoni, and cavatappi have made it to the Final Forks! Which one will be cutting down the nets at the end of the Big Al Dente?

Making plans, defiantly, amid the chaos and madnessIn the “new normal” that is America during the coronavirus pandemic, the act of making plans has taken on a complicated new meaning. For some, it means holding on to plans. For others, it means making new plans -- for a summer wedding or a fall vacation. Remember when peeps like Dr. Drew and Trump said this was nothing?
