Gaze at rings on your left hand. Remember how, when you were single in New York and men made rude remarks to you on the street, you'd dream about the day your boyfriend would put an engagement ring on your finger. Those trips with your friend, Megan, to Tiffany's—how the diamonds sparkled under glass. And so, my friend, it comes to this: Orientalish pasta salad for the kabillionth time.

Preparation
Step 1
Boil water in large, heavy pot. When water boils, dump a box or so of spaghetti in. When done, drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
Step 2
Microwave one box of frozen peas, or peas and carrots. Chop up scallions, avocado, broccoli, red pepper, and any other vegetables that happen to be lying around sans mold. Open can of tuna fish.
Step 3
Combine salad ingredients in large bowl.
Step 4
Mix dressing ingredients together in another bowl, going heavy on the vinegar and the ginger. Taste-test with finger. Add a little more of this, a little more of that. Pour over salad and toss. Serve cold or at room temperature.
