Things I've Learned, part six.

Eleven really is too early to go to bed.

It will cause your husband to look at you the next morning, after a long sleepless night, and say,"You look.. sad. And frumpy."

Also, Elmer's Craft Bond glue does indeed not dry clear. Just so you know.

The Passion of the Christ

Today was not one of my better cooking days. I got a phone call from my mother during the broiling phase of my tomato sauce, and it left me completely agitated, and just as I announced that dinner was ready (and believe me, I'm embarrassed to admit this) I realized that I had completely forgotten to cook the pasta. So, sure. The sauce was ready, but there wasn't anything to put it on. Of course, we were starving already and then we had to wait until the water came to a boil and then the spaghetti cooked. I had another moment of panic when I realized that I had forgotten about the bread.. I had put it under the broiler as well. As it turns out, it was just perfectly done and on the good side of brown, but I still had that initial panic. And of course, with the broiler on for so long and several burners going, it was 160 degrees in the kitchen, and no less so because of my mood.

And what has gotten me so frustrated? The Passion of the Christ. ( Some religious discussion follows. )
