old news; Still waiting on my damn computer and still sick. I’m not really sure which pisses me off more. pah! enough of this and that.
Once more and with feeling, (links to sites are in color)
If you don’t read fauquet that’s okay. Reading a French guy who is old enough to be your grandfather isn’t for everyone. However I would ask that you keep him and his wife Janine in your thoughts and prayers.(if that’s not to politically un-correct of me) He is having some pretty serious stuff with his health right now and if you have a spare second please use it sending good energy his way.
Some people flounder around a lot when they first start this thing we call Xanga. I might be off the mark but I don’t think Heike or Stowry will flounder near as long as I did. Normal people writing about semi-normal things. After all Heike is married to History Pig so she can’t be completely normal. (
just kidding) Yeah, that’s my job uniting Xangans in peace, prosperity and weirdness.
Reasons I should ALWAYS eat at the table. (believe it or not there are several)
10. Supposedly (is there scientific evidence of this?) you eat slower so you don’t add pounds or get as much indigestion.
9. When you eat alone (like I do 4 days a week) you don’t eat as much. (I repeat, is there any scientific evidence?)
8. It provides a routine that encourages other productive behavior. (sure it does, I’m just gonna jump up and do those dishes right now.)
7. (now we get to the truth) You drop less spaghetti on your favorite sweatshirt.
Look familiar to anyone?
6. If you do drop your spaghetti, it doesn’t land in your favorite chair.
5. If someone knocks at the door you look less like a slob if you don’t have spaghetti on your sweatshirt.
4. Even if it’s just TV dinner spaghetti you feel less like Homer Simpson and more like Julia Child.
3. If your drinking a glass of wine with your TV dinner spaghetti at the table, your having a fine Italian dining experience, if your not at the table your just a lush, not really interested in the spaghetti as much as the wine. (I prefer a good ILLINI red with my sweatshirt)
2. When your kids call, you can impress them with your class and maturity. (yeah, right, 22 hours of labor wasn’t impressive, why should this be?)
and the number one reason I should eat at the kitchen table. (ala David Letterman ,drum roll please)
1. No one will ever have to suffer through a spaghetti entry again.
Unless of course I snort a spaghetti noodle through my nose, that would be to classy to pass up.
Take no prisoners people, they just take up space and eat all your spaghetti.

I had a serious, I mean a serious spaghetti addiction when i was a teen– just couldn’t get enough of it. I loved twirling it on my fork, slurping it up a strand at a time… with sauce, without sauce, sprinkled w/grated parmessan… Yah… took a while for me to let go of that jones… that stuff is really fattening, especially when eaten with bunches of garlic bread. But man, good spaghetti is still the best comfort food ever.
and SO much better than Taco Bell, the american choice for truly authentic Mexican food.
I’m not much of a spaghetti person. I don’t think I’ve made spaghetti for at least 4 years.
And I have to dispute #9..I eat alone almost every day and I think I eat far more than if there are witnesses.
I totally agree, that’s why I want scientific proof. I’m a pig alone. Probably boredom.
I like Italian food, spaghetti included.
Thanks for the linking to my site and leaving a comment and e-props.
I’m the same as Myki, sa you well know, momma. Although my spaghetti addiction still hasn’t subsided. I could go for some right now, in fact. mmmmm…. spaghetti….
I’m a post behind commenting but I don’t know if you go back and read the old comments once you move along. I’m like you – one thing that really gauds my butt is the perpetuating by the media and Hollywood of the Southern stereotypes – that we are ignorant and backwards. I hate those horrible accents that they teach in acting school for people portraying Southerners in TV shows and movies.
I did see the show and I thought it was pretty funny that they had to work for a change. On the other hand it did perpetuate the stereotype I have of filthy rich spoiled brats that will never do any down-to-earth work in their lives. They just looked like clutzy and ditzy fools to me.
I have a spaghetti recipe I like of you want me to post it sometime when I haven’t run my mouth enough already.
Cool pics, too!!!

Well, that’s all well and good, if you can get it together enough to clean your table and not use it as a catch-all site for everything that comes into the house that you don’t have a place for yet. And that ain’t me.
Hope you get to feeling better soon! Thanks for the plug

Thanks for the news about Michel. I shall swing by his site right after this.
Hmmm, I could debate a few of those “top 10″ as well, but then I can eat anything and everything, so maybe I’m immune…..LOL!
I hope you feel better soon. Have a great Monday!
Hahaha, listen to her . . . no need to apologize, IL, you’re absolutely right! Bahaha!
