I can't sleep tonight. No, it has nothing to do with work, or girls, or money. For some reason, all I can think about is spaghetti (thanks in part to Rod Benson's song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG96h0BSAO8). Spaghetti is great for a lot of reasons. First off, it's really hard to mess up spaghetti (unless you throw hot dogs in there--sorry Pin@ys). Secondly, it's so much fun to eat--I thoroughly enjoy twirling noodles and sauce with a fork into a spoon. Lastly, good spaghetti is worth its weight in gold--you can enjoy it in your mom's kitchen or a fancy restaurant.
As a kid, I always looked forward to spaghetti for dinner (and breakfast and lunch for that matter). I had this special apron I wore just for the occasion--it was green and had an Italian chef with a curly mustache (a la Rollie Fingers) carrying a big plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I fondly recall piling on the parmesan cheese and even making sandwiches with whatever bread was available (I know at least half of my food ended up on the apron or my face). I've decided that as an adult, I should be able to enjoy spaghetti the way I did when I was a kid (perhaps not in such a messy manner for those dining with me). As low-carb fad diets come and go, a good bowl or plate of spaghetti will always be king in my eyes (and stomach).
