College Student Cooking
I made spaghetti tonight.
On a recent trip to Publix using the always reliable (reliably late) RTS- I picked up a few boxes of spaghetti and various sauces- marinara, tomato and basil, etc.. so tonight after Holy Mass I decided to cook some dinner.
Setting up the kitchen
When one is cooking 'Italian', one needs Italian music! Mr. Josh Groban provided the ambiance.
The busy college life sometimes demands that one leave dirty pots and pans in the room for a few days or so. Make sure to scrub your pots!
Time to get the marinara sauce started. I mean, I poured it out of the jar... there's not much to do here. Let it sit on a low setting and remember to stir it!
There goes the spaghetti! I used a little under half a pound (about half the box) for myself. About 1.5 cups of the sauce should cover it.
Reeses Pieces!! We have a side dish!
Sierra Mist goes well with spaghetti and marinara. Here's a little trick I learned at a restaurant in France.
Oh! What's that noise at the bird feeder!?
Ursus americanus... of course. Silly bear! Get down from there! The birds will be scared away for a few days.
Meanwhile...
The finished product! Voila! Good, easy, cheap!

Jon, I have to admit I laughed audible at this one. I also have a confession to make: I sent it to Fr. Z :-) I hope he says something.
Yeah, I hope you get a shout out on WDTPRS.
Yes, I immediately thought that someone has got Z fever. He might be flattered.
mmm. pasta.
