I Think I Got Suckered

[Hostile]

My wife is ill. In bed, congested, fever, the works.

My daughter said, "Mom said you were making your spaghetti tonight."

I replied, "She hasn't asked me but I can."

My daughter, "She's gonna."

So I go to see my sick bride. The story changed just a widdle bit.

My wife, "I told Kylie we were going to have spaghetti for dinner. She said she likes your spaghetti better than mine."



My mad scientist spaghetti is the bomb, but I think I got played. I did talk the kids into doing the dishes though.

Then you've won 99% of the battle. The worst thing about cooking is the clean up.

[Wimbo]

baked spaghetti here tonight. It's one of my top 5.

[Cajuncowboy]

Looks like Italian night. We had home made Ravioli.

And yeah, you got played. They definitely conspired.

My mad scientist spaghetti is the bomb


How do you make it?

The cook should never have to do the dishes: It discourages 'em from cooking. Though this should have the 'good cook' rider. Yay Spaghetti!

"Will wash dishes for yummy meals!"

How do you make it?Okay, for the first time ever, I share my recipe.

1 pound of ground beef
1 half of a small red onion, diced
1 small bell pepper, diced
2 roma tomatoes, diced
Oregano
Parmesan cheese
course ground pepper
sea salt
garlic salt
chili powder
Jar or can of whatever your favorite spaghetti sauce is, I like Newman's Own with mushrooms.

First the noodles. I put about 2 tablespoons of salt in the water to cook them. It keeps them from sticking together and adds a little flavor. I like to break the noodles in half or thirds so they cook all together and evenly. Plus it is easier to eat.

In a large skillet brown the ground beef with the diced onions, peppers, and tomatoes. While still browning I add touches of black pepper, season salt, garlic salt, sea salt, and chili powder to the ground beef. Next is the big secret, I literally cover the top of the beef with Parmesan cheese and stir it into the browning ingredients.

Once the meat is thoroughly cooked drain off the oil and put back in the skillet. Pour the spaghetti sauce on top of it, add a small amount of water to the jar or can to get the remaining sauce out. I like to put the lid back on the jar and shake it up. Pour that in the skillet and stir up the sauce.

Now add another sprinkling of the Parmesan cheese to the sauce and thoroughly stir it in. Sprinkle the top of the sauce with oregano so that it is a light dusting. Let it simmer for 2 minutes then stir it in the sauce too.

I drain the noodles, rinse them in hot water and then pour them right into the sauce and stir it all up thoroughly one more time.

The spices make it killer.

lol Yeah they do that. Mine is thirty and still owns me. She cant pull anything over on her Mom but I am a sucker.

[Signals]

Hos, are you using freshly grated Parmesan, or just the stuff you buy pre-grated like Kraft? Seems like fresh grated would be make it nice a gooey. :D

Don't worry I got played to tonight. My one daughter ask me to get a icy coke for her and I questioned her that it has caffeine in it and she told me no it doesn't. (It was late and I didn't want her to drink caffeine that late). She asked me please and showeed me those big green eyes. When her mother walked in and saw what she was drinking, she immediately asked how she got it. She ratted me out and the look on my wife's face could kill a person. My daughter did tell me she was sorry forgetting me in trouble with her mom. I should have known better but it is hard to resist that smile and those big green eyes looking up at me. Yeah, I am sucker too when it comes to my daughters. I swear that little daughters have some kind of power over fathers that can not be explained.

One time in Church she was acting up and it was time to go outside.

So I take her and she is looking back over my right shoulder as I head outside. She spread her arms wide and yelled "pray for me everybody."

My knees buckled, the whole congregation busted out laughing, and she of course did not get a spanking.

Welcome to your baby girl having total control of your life...

I wouldn't want it any other way.

My only regret in all of life is that I never had a little girl.

I have two awesome sons, but I would have also loved to be wrapped around my little girls finger.

We had two miscarriages, I always wondered if one of those was my little girl, .. guess I'll find out when I get to heaven.

Anyways, spoil your little girls rotten!! No matter how old they are!!

[Hostile]

:lmao2:oh you got one of those too...me too and she plays me like a drum too
One time when she was about 2 we were home alone. She was very quiet and that concerns me. So I went looking for her. She was in the bathroom and she had a roll of toilet paper that she was dunking in the toilet them wiping it all over the wall.

I yelled. Who wouldn't?

She dropped the toilet paper, put her hands behind her little back, lowered her eyes to the ground and said, "But Daddy, I'm just a widdle girl."






Hell no I wasn't mad after that. My damned heart melted.

Now that's funny. It brought a chuckle to me as it has been a rough day at work. Thanks for sharing.

When mine was around 5 or so, and in Kindergarten, was doing her "homework".

the object of her worksheet was to color in the pictures that the word "ook"... like, book, hook etc..

I looked over it and said, you forgot to color in this one.... it was a picture of a Cook.

She looked at me and without missing a beat said "That's not a cook, that's a chef".

With that line of reasoning, I agreed she didn't need to color that picture in.
