Pasta Salad

Yikes, another mediocre photo.  My apologies to those who care.

Corkscrew Pasta salad with sundried tomatoes (Full Belly Farm), provolone and garlic (quite possibly too much garlic as I also had this for lunch and the harsh scent is emanating from my pores like alcohol after a night of wild partying - - - please no clever commenting on the partying analogy, I realize that is not part of my reality);  two organic pickling cucumbers from the Farmer's Market; and two oatmeal cookies.  Cookies and cucumbers were wrapped in an IAMS dog scarf that I received free at a fair.  The large triangular shape is perfect for wrapping multiple food items that should not touch. 

waste generated: none :)

Is the pasta hot or cold? (I know you call it pasta salad but I have seen hot pasta salads too.) I ask because it looks like to have it in a Thermos type conatiner. If it is cold I'm curious why you decided to use that container? I have a lot of food containers but not any Thermos type ones. Wondering if I should purchase one. Thanks!

This pasta salad can be served either cold or at room temperature. You can pack it in any container you prefer but I like my thermos because (1) I didn't have to buy it (the one pictured here was found abandoned and moldy); (2) it is a great size; (3) it keeps the food at generally the same temperature it was when packed (hot, cold, or room).

This pasta salad really looks delicious. Would you mind if I ask you the recipe. I want to try this too. Thanks!
