Leftover Pasghetti

I'm pretty sure that nobody in the history of the world has ever made the right amount of spaghetti. You either make WAY too much, or not enough to satisfy your hunger. When you don't make enough you can just eat some bread or a salad or something. If you cook too much you have a decision to make. You can either put it in the fridge where it will sit for a week or two until you finally throw it away, or you can just cut to the chase and toss it in the garbage. I'm a put it in the fridge guy. After the sketti sits in the refrigerator uncovered for more than a day or two it starts to get hard and gross. I'm one of those weird dudes who always puts the leftover pasta(all kinds of pasta, even lasagna) into a Ziplock bag. It's something that my mom always did, so I guess I continue to do it. The thing is, when I look into other peoples refrigerators and see pasta on the shelf in a ziplock, I get really grossed out. I don't know why, it just happens. I won't microwave spaghetti. It doesn't heat evenly and the sauce always gets burned, but I WILL make a sammich out of it! My recipe is as follows...

Open up the fridge and grab the baggie of sketti, margarine, and one leaf of lettuce. Grab two pieces of CHEAP, (less than a dollar fifty a loaf cheap) bread. Don't use any kind of fancy dancy oat bread, or nut lovers hard cock bread or anything other than cheap white or wheat. I dig white for this creation. Put the bread on a plate and spread some of that tasty butter like stuff all over both pieces. Take that piece of lettuce and rip it to shreds, then sprinkle it all over one slice of your bread. Next grab a big handful of spaghetti(i use my hands b/c I find they are more accurate at measuring sketts than any sort of pasta grabbing tool) and plop the entire handful on top of the lettuce. If you would like to add any sort of hot sauce or spices, do it now but you should have just added that shit to the sauce when you cooked it. Put the other piece of bread on top of the pasta and go to town! It's messy as fuck, and you will probably get sauce and little pieces of spaghetti all over yourself but it's really tasty so just eat it. If you are really that worried about keeping your hands clean you should probably stop reading this blog b/c this kind of shit is going to keep happening...
