I think my preference for Spaghetti comes from seldom having Lasagna when growing up. For a poor family of 5 Spaghetti was a meal that feed more and could be stretched out with adding extra pasta or sauce and adding to it when left over. It was quick, easy and filling where Lasagna took more time and didn't last as long. Plus, whenever we ate lasagna if visiting family it never seemed to be cooked thoroughly or properly.

Now if you make baked spaghetti it changes the equation...all the goodness of spaghetti and meatballs baked and covered with cheese...

I'll go with spaghetti as well, partly because I really like it, and partly because it's a lot easier to find gluten-free spaghetti than gluten-free lasagna noodles. I would venture to say that the acceptance of spaghetti by WASP families like my grandparents was the beginning of the end of anti-Italian prejudice in the US, along with the ascendance of celebrities named DiMaggio, Sinatra, Costello, etc. On another note, someone has invented a new pasta shape: Cascatelli: www.sfoglini.com/products/sporkful

Interesting, but it looks more like it should be called "slug-a-roni"... replacing the gluten with extra protein.

A friend of mine working as a cook in a small truck stop told me about pizzaghetti, which is just what you probably imagine... spaghetti and meatballs poured over a pizza crust, covered in cheese and baked. It was apparently fairly popular.

Since this is a late Which One, Which One are you? Early or late arrive? After years of growing up with family functions ALWAYS starting late, my parents always slow to prepare for leaving the house to anything and holiday meals being told we will at 1pm and NEVER eating until after 4-5 pm you can guess where I am heading with this? I'm Early to rise, early to leave, early to arrive! Howzabout you all?

If you’re not five minutes early you’re late.

Arrive early, no doubt.
My parents taught me that if you aren't at least 5 minutes early, you're late. Stuck with that my entire life, it's how my wife and I operate to this day, and it's how we're teaching our girls to treat time and events.

My father was incapable of being on time for anything. As a defence mechanism, I became habitually early to everything. According to my sister who was with our mother when she died, she asked Mum if she saw Dad waiting for her. Mum's last words were "Oh, you know your father. Late for everything."

I'm always early.
Introduce your joke about being early here, but honni soit qui mal y pense.

I've run on the Lombardi Time principle for all of my adult life. Same here! My car clock and wall clocks and radio clock are set 10 minutes early. My cell alarm I set 10 minutes early since I can't adjust the cell time. The work drive is 25-30 minutes so I leave an hour before in case of accidents/detours/etc so i am arriving a half hour or so before work. Allows time to get mentally prepared and many times the boss has me start up when others are out ill or system issues or other "emergencies".
