Where's The Ziti?

Lately Andrea has been trading weekly meal plans with her sisters-in-law. One of this week's recipes was for baked ziti and so the last time we were in the grocery store I was assigned the task of finding the main ingredient. Ziti's a noodle, right?

Okay, I know the noodles are ... right here. Wow, lots of noodles. Spaghetti, spaghettini, angle hair, lasagna, tortellini, penne, farfalle, macaroni, gnocchi, cannelloni. No ziti.

Ziti is a noodle right?

Okay, this can't be too hard. Alphabetical order? No. Fancy boxes? No. Top shelf? Bottom shelf? Why are there ten different kinds of spaghetti? Oh good grief.

I finally did find it, tucked between small shells and the rigatoni. It could have been worse, my brother-in-law had to go through two grocery stores before he found his.

Hang in there Rob. I think we used some other strange pasta-like stuff (penne?) that we had on hand so I was spared this time. Steve
