Sad truths about Meljean
1) She almost passed out while trying to sing the last part of “Nessun dorma” along with Pavarotti … while driving to Safeway to get groceries for dinner. Road safety = FAIL.
2) If a fresh loaf of French bread enters her car, still warm from the Safeway bakery oven, chances are it will not come out of her car. (Digging through grocery bag for warm French bread while driving = double road safety FAIL.)
3) If the bread, by some miracle, does make it out of the car (usually with a huge chunk ripped out of it) it will likely not last until the the noodles are cooked.
4) Meljean’s idea of variety is having different kinds of noodles: spaghetti, fettuccine, rigatoni, or that spirally kind. Oh! or the bowtie kind.
5) She writes blog posts in the third person.
Here’s Pavarotti:
The entire reason that I buy two loaves of bread is so that one can be eaten before dinner and still have one for dinner.
Can’t cook, can’t sing, and maybe shouldn’t be driving? Especially while trying to sing or eat.
Tsk tsk. Insurance Agent Jen says naughty Meljean.
I loooove french bread. Mmmm. Doesn’t last long at my house either.
Which solves the mystery why you were not singing Nessun Dorma on your way BACK from Safeway.
I am impressed you would know the words.
@withoutwit: This is all your fault of course.
@JenB: heh, it is still better than driving without my license *headdesk*
@Carolyn Jean: There are two reasons for that: once, I looked up the lyrics, and two … I’m in my car a LOT
Who can resist warm french bread?
I’ll even dip it in olive oil or this garlic/oil/vinegar dipping sauce in the car. I’m not sure how I manage this, but…
I LOVE opera. Oh gosh, this bring the memories back!
Mixing pasta shapes is the only way to go. I’m a big fan of tri-color rotini and penne. Mmm. Yes, I know all the shapes taste the same, but they look so pretty and fun.
And I’m glad you made it home safely with all those bread/music distractions
lol
I’m glad we know those things now.
