All good, Mark. My favorite is Positive Reinforcement. A question: Does your sense of humor ever get on your wife's nerves? Mine gets on my wife's nerves, sometimes.

No. It's everything else that gets on her nerves. 🤣

I'm reminded of the time I accidentally dropped the entire spaghetti box in the pot of boiling water.

Wow. Are these all brand new? I don't remember any of them. I sure do appreciate the spaghetti advice, Chef Mark. I have been doing it wrong all these years! And the hours you have saved me with this new method of raking leaves! As for the wife with the bacon? Every wife knows this trick....

Bacon! 🤣

Yes, these are all new to Mark Starlin Writes! I have tons of them, so I am going to do more collections to get rid of them. 🤣

That speghetti one took me a while to figure out, but once I did, oh boy! What a time-saver.

However! Pro pasta-in-box points:

* box removes easily from water with tongs;

* soggy box removes easily from spaghetti brick;

* brick cuts easily into servings with a steak knife, and family members can choose the tenders ends, the firm middle, or in between.

Plus the sauce people can add sauce, and the garlic butter people can do their thing.

That’s using the old noodle, C.L.

I had no idea about the single piece of macaroni. But who could eat just one? 😉
