Why I'm not obese.

I decided I am hungry.  In my house, if I'm hungry, I feed myself.  No problem - usually.  I'm a pretty good cook if I'm in the mood. Tonight I'm just hungry and spaghetti sounds good.  

I already know I don't have 4 hours to make the sauce but I boil the pasta anyway.  It's kinda plain.  I toss the ketchup packets from McDonalds in.  It still needs something.  I remember that someone brought over a pizza from Pizza Hut a few years ago and I dig out the cheese packets.  That helps a little, but...maybe a packet of Newman's Own Ranch dressing.  Can't hurt!  Sort of an 'Alfredo' effect.

I remember that I pan-fried a pound of fresh, sweet cherry tomatoes in EVOO yesterday.  I toss that in. They aren't as good as fire-seared, but it's raining.  The spaghetti still needs something.  I remember that Housie tossed the remnants of a sausage McMuffin in the fridge about a week ago.  I found it and microwaved it for 60 seconds at 1100 watts.  The cheese didn't melt.  I diced it up and tossed out the back door. It'll probably be out there for a year.

I realize that I have cooked an impromptu epicurean delight and haven't eaten, but I'm no longer hungry. I settle for a Becks dark, a bowl of chocolate ice cream and three candy orange slices.  Now I feel sort of funny. Maybe it's time for a shower and a little sleep.
