Spaghetti Tips ~ What and What Not To Do

Tonight I made Spaghetti for dinner, and I decided to use a tip I had read about in an article. The "tip" is a time-saver for making meatballs. Instead of rolling out each clump of meat into a meatball, you just pat out the meat onto a cookie sheet about 1 inch thick. Then you just cut it into 1 inch squares. So really, you're having Spaghetti and Meat-Squares. The look would be a little different, but the taste would be the same. Well, I decided to try out this tip tonight for dinner.

Of course it was on my white pants. And to top it all off, after trying for 5 minutes to get a good angle so you could see that picture of my "saucy" white pants, I forgot to watch the dinner cooking on the stove:

Now I need to clean under the stove since I took the extra 20 seconds to take a pictures of that. Oh, what I do for my readers.

The moral of this story: Don't make meat-squares, no matter how much time they save.
