The fusilli are so called because they take their name from the "spindle", an instrument that was used for hand spinning. The thread was, in fact, twisted around the knitting iron and the shape it assumed is very reminiscent of this type of dough. And in Italian rifle Is fucile

The orbit around the Sun while elliptical is almost circular. Closest 91million miles, furthest 94 million miles.

The coldness during winter is due to the tilt of the earth more than a minor change in distance. Seasons change because of the tilt of the Earth which orbits the Sun about a tilted axis of 23 degrees.

During Winter in the North, the North Pole is tilted away from the Earth so the North has less direct rays from the sun while the South is tilted towards the Sun with more direct rays causing Summer.

I never got to try the attachment for the kitchen aid that we got as a gift… it was supposed to do this I thought. Hopefully the ex wife has by now, but I doubt it. The pasta is better with fresh duck eggs anyway which I have now. That’s the hard part.

Italian here, I looked around a bit, it seems Rotini is the rename that was made for the international (american) market.

Here now and since I have memory of eating it, those are fusilli, zero doubt, zero questions. ##FUSILLI

Rotini pasta is top tier, right up there with farfalle.

Grabs sauce, cooperates with your fork, and has a lovely texture. Good stuff.

Wouldn't you get irritated the same way if anyone tried to convince that a typical American/where you're from dish or ingredient has a different name, and try to school you about it?
