She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage. ... she never wounds 'till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of treading on her.

For Dinner

Sometimes, you may decide that a quick version of spaghetti is not blasphemy. You then find a jar of sauce that isn't terrible, mix it with some meat (ground beef, usually), boil up your noodlies, and, voila! Meal with leftovers.

And then sometimes, you find that you managed, somehow, to be devoid of ground anything. Sometimes you might find that the only way to keep this meal quick is to use what's on-hand, like some recently grilled chicken fajitas. Okay. Back on track.

Sometimes, you might find that the leftover noodles you had previously cooked to many of for the last meal that required them have become ZOMGSCIENCE ahead of (your) schedule, and that fuzzy noodles are not very appetizing. Then, you might find that the only noodlies you have left are of the Asian egg variety. Then you might cook them because, dammit, you don't have a choice at this point: you are committed.

Do not do this. It is abomination.

  1. Huh.

    A lot of blogs, including mine, post food that people remark is "food porn".

    You just posted "food porn" that was really "icky porn".

    That's a bold move, Cotton. We'll see if it pays off.

  2. Yes, abomination. We are in agreement! Oh, and no sriracha in the spaghetti sauce, either, just in case you're having more ideas!

Feel free to drop a line. You don't have to keep it clean - God knows, I won't - but keep it above the belt.
