Growing up, my dad made huge homemade pots of spag sauce and we would have what came to be known as Spaghetti Week. In college, it was a frequent meal because nobody could cook and everyone was broke. As a result I cannot even STAND to LOOK at a spag-bowl. Even thinking about eating it four times a week makes me nauseous.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16137008679319158397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32664912.post-91994861384496649342007-03-27T00:15:00.000+01:002007-03-27T00:15:00.000+01:00Sushi sounds way more interesting than spag-bol ;-...Sushi sounds way more interesting than spag-bol ;-)Tinsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117009077032779594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32664912.post-23917612763901040312007-03-26T09:15:00.000+01:002007-03-26T09:15:00.000+01:00sushi!sushi!ShadowFalconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705530281109481071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32664912.post-14915442287906601702007-03-26T09:14:00.000+01:002007-03-26T09:14:00.000+01:00Ok I know what I'm having for dinner nowOk I know what I'm having for dinner nowShadowFalconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705530281109481071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32664912.post-62912509524106335902007-03-24T21:39:00.000+00:002007-03-24T21:39:00.000+00:00Chicken livers?!
