A series of tragic spaghetti events. Or, is this spaghetti trying to kill

[IsIt1984Yet]

me?

OK, making spaghetti today, browned the ground beef, made the sauce, and added the spices.

This was tragic event 1: I mistook Garlic SALT for Garlic powder. I wanted it really garlicky and it was, instead, really salty... eww. I remedied this by making MORE sauce to cut the salt. Cool, that worked.
(*I know, I know, I know... using fresh garlic would have prevented this tragedy, but I haven't any. Apparently, I haven't any Garlic Powder, either)

Tragic event 2 occurred a few hours after the sauce had simmered. I moved the saucepan to a different burner to make room for the boiling of the pasta. While moving, I tipped the pan in a manner that caused sauce to spill all over my stove and counter... oh, and that awesome 3.5 MM space between. Oh, and down the inside of the burner as to cause a puddle under my stove-top thingie... beneath the burners.

Now, I knew that I could not let this dry in any manner, so I quickly started to clean up the 275º mess. Ouch. And, I narrowly escaped knocking the pot of boiling water onto myself.

I am afraid of this batch of spaghetti. What will happen next? Is my Parmesan tainted in a manner that will result in a late-night ER visit tonight?

1. The last time I ate spaghetti I had to go to the ER

Ditto for the time before that.

I don't eat that stuff any more.

3. Holy shit! Sounds like a terrorist plot.

:tinfoilhat:

How did you end up in the ER? Burns? Food-poisoning? Did a noodle get lodged in your nasal cavity?

5. Allergies

:P

2. OK........one thing at a time.......

You are doing the right thing, by sitting down, and talking to us!

This will calm you, and give you feedback!

Now......your sauce is not tainted!

And provided that you move slowly and carefully, there will not be a late-night visit to your local, friendly ER!

Whew....good luck!

:pals:

4. On the plus side, the spilling took care of the excess sauce created in

Tragic Event # 1.

:D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Well, there you go..........

There's the silver lining in the middle of that dark cloud!

I hope you enjoy your sauce!

:pals:

9. we could all come over to help, um, keep an eye on the culprit

I'll bring a nice chianti.:hi:

[IsIt1984Yet]

15. That would require I vacuum and shower.

Hmmm chianti, huh?

[joneschick]

20. oh, don't fuss on my account!

10. Beware The Sprinkle Cheese!

:rofl:

Honestly. You will be fine. Good luck. :hug:

[IsIt1984Yet]

16. I have fresh cheese, not the sprinkle. Shit, that's all wrong, isn't it?

:scared:

12. Hath I forsaken the FSM and this is my karma?

[jobycom]

14. Wow.

Just, wow.

13. It's not the spaghetti. It's revenge of the cow!

The soul of the dead beast has clung to his former flesh and has jinxed your sauce. Eat it, and the soul will inhabit you and your family. You will need a Priest of the High Vegetarian Order to exorcise the bovine poltergeist.

17. This would never happen if

you'd just suck it up and eat your spaghetti at Olive Garden.





I keeed. I keeeed.

18. You're right.

I'm making fried chicken breaded with corn flakes later.

I hear that's popular here in the Lounge.
