I think they're both about the same. Corn probably has higher fiber than
white rice but we normally eat the brown rice and I think those are about
the same.

thanks, Lee

Corn pasta taste better than wheat or rice base pastas.

Have you tried quinoa pasta? Better is on the tongue of the taster,
but I can assure you that it's different from rice pasta. Thicker
shapes like elbows and shells have firmer textures with both quinoa
and rice.

I use rice noodles for pad thai. They form a solid glob if I cook them
like wheat noodles. Instead, I soak them in two changes of hot water
off the stove. They're OK with some sauces. I haven't tried tomato.

Has anyone tried using masa harina in a pasta machine?

Yes. I use it for pasta salad.

I don't like those noodles. I have tried them.

Dat you again, Jimmy Postal?

When I was a kid, we ate a lot of macaroni and cheese... made with gov't
surplus. I swore that when I grew up I would never eat it again and for
years, I didn't.

Now, we don't have it too often, but it is one of my favorite side dishes.

Mac n'cheese was something my mom never made, and the few times my
friends moms served it I didn't like it. I still don't like mac n'
cheese. My mom's favorite pasta dish to serve was noodle kugel, I
still prefer kugel, hot or cold. I don't understand the attraction to
elbow macaroni and cheese, especially cheddar. I don't like cheddar
cheese, no way no how.

I love cheddar!

I can eat pasta everyday provided that it has different sauce. I'm not
really after the type of pasta used, maybe the shapes and sizes would
matter. The only pasta that I don't like is made from wheat because it
somehow affects the taste even if I put too much sauce on it. I haven't
tried corn pasta, where can I get those by the way?

Here you can get it at most grocery stores. If you can't find it there try
a health food store or a gluten free store.

At the moment, I'm a bit retricted as to what foods I can eat. Funnily
enough, I don't have a problem with chocolate, ice creams (especially
chocolate coated icecreams!!) potato chips, frozen/oven fried Yum Cha
thingies etc, which I eat quite a lot of. Breakfast and brunch is usually a
small amount of baked beans with a soft fried egg chopped up in it.

And I'm still slowly losing weight :-/
