OMG! Just STFU you freaking idiot! How in the world could I possibly know
how much pasta another person will eat? My psychic powers are not that
good. At some point in time there will be leftovers!
You don't know how to read at all. Do you? My reply was to sf who said
that she only buys food for three days at a time. The freaking pasta was
just an example. I was trying to point out that if you buy some things at
Costco like I do, you'll have to buy more than you can eat in three days
unless you have a really huge family or are cooking for a crowd.
There is no pasta problem in this house. None. Never was.
I did however have to get a new Rachael Ray pasta pot as the protective
piece on one handle cracked off. And yes, I know I could have used a pot
holder but I felt it was time for a new one. This one is yellow. Yellow!
Squee!
Now... Are you going to drum up any more problems that aren't even problems
for me?
