Cooked up La Fe chickpeas (12oz bag) and Alma whole wheat fusilli (half bag) last night. Glad I snapped up the fusilli when I did because I haven't seen it at Pubilx since, and Alma's not a brand that Western Beef even carries.

Combined half the chickpeas with the whole half-bag cooked-and-cooled fusilli in a 6-cup plastic food storage box, and popped that in the fridge to keep overnight. This morning I slopped on a generous teaspoon (or two?) of Classico basil pesto, and maybe a quarter jar of spicy red pepper tomato sauce, and took it with me. 2m30s in the microwave warmed it enough bring out aromas and flavors, not piping hot and in no danger of melting the plastic. Half the container is a very satisfying meal; the whole thing would probably be uncomfortable.
