It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's...Spaghetti?
Purportedly the "most requested" information from his lecture at the 1985 AIGA conference (according to his speech on Friday called "Since Then: Two Points of View") = Milton Glaser's Mom's Spaghetti Recipe. He's an iconic graphic designer; does this mean that I may birth such a luminary one day just because I can relate to his mam for creating this concoction? Regardless, Milton, call me…I think that you might really enjoy eating at my place some night!

I think that is the recipe that was used in the filming of a little known Harmony Korin motion picture called Gummo. It is served to Gummo in a bathtub filled with dirty water by his mother. Oh yeah there is bacon scotch taped to the wall.
