We left out the hot pepper flakes in the dressing, and since there were no bean sprouts to be found at the store we used sugar snap peas instead.  I also opted to not put in the green onions, peanuts or cilantro to make it a tad bit more kid friendly.  And &#8220;penny pasta&#8221;?  That apparently really means rotini, which is what we wound up using.  So a lot of mods.  But the dressing is <em>fantastic<\/em>.  I&#8217;ve found my new favorite pot luck dish for the year, I think.  And the best part is that my kid will actually eat it!<\/p>\n<p>(You can pretend there are resolutions in this post, such as updating my blog more often and keeping my house cleaner, but it&#8217;s probably not worth it since they&#8217;ll be broken tomorrow.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We went to a countdown to 6:00 party last night.
