sketti

so last night i made spaghetti. always a fun treat. i never make it the same way. lately i've been using ragu and adding assorted yummy goodness to the pot. this week i added too much wine. i never thought you could add too much wine to something. i even compensated by boiling the mixture down a bit. but it had that wonderful buttery aftertaste that 2 buck chuck carries long into the night. oh well. mabe next time i should use a better wine....

also, when you drain the pasta, and you spill some pasta over the edge of the strainer, i dont recommend diving for it with your bare hands, as the sketti is as hot as the boiling water you are straining it out of. one day, when i regain the feeling in my fingertips, i'll forever be grateful for this lesson.....
