What do I do now, then? Mostly, I'll go a little easy on the pasta until I see it again at my price point, which I'll hopefully see soon in a clearance sale. I feel as though we're overdue for one. I probably make pasta for dinner too frequently anyway; we could use more variety in our dinners. I know I have some corn flour masa kicking around, so perhaps I'll make corn tortillas one night this week.
As for tonight, it's semi-potluck dinner with friends. I host a pizza dinner once or twice a month, asking guests to bring sides, desserts, and bottles. I'll make two pizzas: one plain and ordinary (or maybe with one non-challenging topping, like sweet peppers), and one a little more interesting. Tonight, I'll top the interesting one with baked acorn squash purée and caramelized onions, flavored with some sage:
Bon apétit!

Here in Pittsburgh, I've noticed the same - I think that, after a decade of holding the price at $1/lb (or at least regularly getting there with sales), grocers have ratcheted up. This includes the large Italian market where I've mostly bought pasta - even the 2 lb bags are consistently above $2 now. A shame, but what can you do?
