Babylon 5 echoes
I reblogged about a Good Thing which J. Michael Straczynski and the B-5 costume people did, and - about an hour later - it helped me finally reach an itch which I haven't been able to scratch for several days.
Long story short, @dduane and I are putting together a shopping list to send for some Continental goodies - nothing elaborate, just interesting hard-to-find pasta and that sort of thing - and one of the pastas was the source of that itch.
I'd been trying to remember its name so as to order some, but the name rattling through my mind was close, but wrong, so close that if I could just pin down where the wrong one came from, it would make room for the right one.
And it did.
The pasta name is "Pipe Rigate", which looks like this:
However, the name I was misremembering was "Paso Leati", which looks like this (on the right)...
...because it was Londo Mollari's "fighting name" as a member of the Couro Prido duelling society in the episode "Knives".
Ragù, garlic and Parmigiano Reggiano are not involved.
Sheesh.
My Mind Attic really does need tidied...
