A PASTA-TROPHE
May 9th, 2008 Posted in Amusing EventsA lot of things seem to happen to me when I am cooking. There was the wasp incident of a few days ago, and the time when I set fire to my dressing gown whilst leaning on the gas flame.
And here’s another one for you.
The pasta I was cooking was on the verge of being done. I’d added in the tomato and herb sauce and was seconds away from serving when I noticed a tiny fly/aphid on the counter next to the hob. I don’t like killing things like that, so I just let it be, thinking that it would disappear of its own accord sooner or later. And disappear it did. But not into the vacuousness of the ether, as expected, no. It flew straight into the saucepan and disguised itself amongst the variety of herbs so that there was no way I could pick it out.
Thinking that I probably swallow little flies like that when running around the football pitch, I figured that the fly wouldn’t do me any harm and ate the meal anyway. Extra protein anyone?
