“Ilene loves pasta.”
“Pasta.”
“Yes, Lloyd, pasta, and it’s real sweet if you cook at home for her. First meal I had with Ernest, he cooked up his chili lasagna.”
“Epic.”
Ernest joined Marge at Lloyd’s truck. “That’s right, Lloyd. It’s how I got her to stay. Made her pasta.”
“Pasta. Epic. Thanks.”
Marge and Ernest returned to the garage. “I bet Nard’s taking bets.”
Lloyd unpacked his groceries, proud of himself for thinking of garlic bread and for getting not just one kind of pasta but two. He wondered which Ilene would prefer, Chef Boyardee ravioli or spaghettiOs.

September 13, 2018, Carrot Ranch prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story that includes pasta. It can be spagetti, macaroni and cheese, or any variety. It can be a meal or a work of art. Go where the prompt leads.
Yep, it’s a 99 word continuation of the Ernest and Marge series. See them all here, where this one gets an extra 40 words.

Comfort characters! Keep that idea in mind — it might just be your umbrella for this crew. Not sure about the future for Llyod and Ilene, though. Might be off to a canned start.
