That's too funny! When I was about 5 years old we lived in NJ; Mom went off
to "the city" (that would be NYC, heheh) for a weekend shopping trip,
leaving my brothers and me with Dad. He made spaghetti with red sauce. The
sauce was good, I'm sure - 1951 Betty Crocker, how can you go wrong? Except
he didn't really drain the pasta, just mixed it all together. I definitely
remember that on my plate! We teased him for years. Maybe one day your
kids will forget... but don't count on it!
