The Little Bear of Noodles

I don't know how many of you are into spaghetti but it is pretty much a staple in our family - gracing our dinner table at least once (and yes sometimes more) a week. Miraculously enough we never get tired of it - it's always a great meal. Today as I was eating my bowl of spaghetti I was pondering over the noodle I use. Vermicelli is the noodle of choice in the Mycal Brown family (okay the girls haven't thrown in their two cents on the subject but Mycal and I are in complete agreement on this). So there I was thinking about Vermicelli wondering what made it so perfect (it had come out particularly well despite a serious of cooking flaws that would have really ruined lesser noodles) and it struck me - it's because it's like the Little Bear (of Goldilocks and the Three Bears) of noodles. Where spaghetti noodles are too thick (Papa Bear) and Angle Hair noodles are too thin (Mama Bear) Vermicelli are just right.
