I made this Hulk themed meal for my companion Ken. I picked this theme since I wanted to use the fist cookie cutter he bought for me as part of my Christmas present. My Hulk food coloring painting is not ideal but I was losing natural light and did not take the time to try again.

A week ago, I made a pasta dinner for my companion Ken to celebrate his birthday. When I asked for his request, he said homemade pasta with asparagus. I was excited to try making garganelli with my gnocchi board. It came with a dowel to make garganelli. Mine does not look exactly right but it tasted delicious and Ken was appreciative. He was excited to have leftovers to bring for lunch the next day.
