Spaghetti Dinner

You can really tell it's a Friday when you make mistakes like the one I just made. I got home from school, and went to work making a pot of spaghetti (mmmm). We were having a few people over from the ward, and I like my sauce to simmer for a couple of hours. The picture you see on this blog is actually the SECOND pot of spaghetti that I made. This is what happened...(I wouldn't tell anyone else, and I know this won't go any further), so here goes... Becca called me just after I finished putting everything in the pot. Ymmm. Anyway, I got into a conversation with Becca about, of all things, baseball, and I decided to multitask. My house plants were looking kind of dry, so I decided to water them. Not just any old water, but the Miracle Grow kind of water. I added the drops of MG into the pitcher of water and at the same time decided the sauce needed another stir (all the while having a very intense baseball conversation with Becca). As I held the phone with one hand, and the water (with MG in it) in the other, my brain must have just gone to sleep, because I began to pour the chemically-laced water into the spaghetti sauce. WOW! I woke up real fast, said good-bye to Becca, and tried to scoop the section of water out of the sauce...kinda didn't work, since water moves pretty fast. All I can say is, it's a good thing I had more of the ingredients in the cupboard. Yeah, I started over, even though I briefly thought of trying to salvage what I could. In my mind I had images of 6 dead people soon after consuming a pot of spaghetti(french bread, salad, veggies included). It was too much for me, so down the garbage disposal went a large pot of my best effort...only to start again. What you see in this picture is sauce #2 (and we're all still alive). Boy, do I love Fridays.
