Short on time

I've got no time again this morning. And nothing in mind to pontificate on. (Not that I'm a grand pontificator or anything.) I am keenly aware of the election south of the border, but I am far less vested in the outcome than I was in '04. Still, I have some hopes for a shakeup.

Spouse made spaghetti squash last night. And then he served it with spaghetti sauce (bolognese if you must know) which struck me as odd. Squash with red sauce just didn't sound right. But wow, talk about delicious. And no bloated full feeling like you get from pasta.

Here's an old joke from an old friend: A guy walked into a bar. He said, "ouch".

Get it?

Enjoy the day. And vote dammit!

The spaghetti squash is something that I use a lot during the summer. It's great.

Have a good one.

I'm on vacation starting tonight.

Never quite got into spaghetti squash, but then again it was not garnished with Spouse's sauce, only cheap out of a jar.

As for the joke. I'll forgive you this time, Torn. This time.

[Hey, even a groaner works for me! :)]

Spaghetti squash - good stuff! Will have to try it that way - will Serge share his bolognese recipe?

Am voting at lunch...

Timmy said...

I've heard the joke told this way:

2 guys walk into a bar. You'd think the 2nd one would have seen it.

Kevin said...

Oh, and don't you know? If you pontificate, you'll go blind.

Bahahahahha...

I never get tired of that joke.

(and it's clean!)

six shooter beat me to it. i was going to say that i've always heard the joke as:

two men walk into a bar.

you would have thought the second one would have noticed.

budumcha...

Huh-- I would have thought that spaghetti squash would be sweetish for red sauce. Then again, it makes some sense. I mean, you know, the name could imply more than just the shreds.

Never heard that joke, so it made me chuckled.

I love spaghetti squash with a bit of butter and salt/pepper.

Mmmm... maybe tonight even.

Patricia said...

s'ghetti squash is yummy. a little butter, a little pepper, a little parm. i don't even need the sauce but it sounds delish.

Sounds much better than the "Summer Squash Boiled to a Pulp" that was a staple in my home, when I was growing up.

I loved the joke. So simple.

Squash is not a food I can put in my mouth, (or anywhere else for that matter!)whether it is covered in sauce or not. Braaack!! I'm glad it was good for you though!

My kids used to tell me that joke and laugh and laugh! Lovely!

I love spaghetti squash. It's so much fun turning a squash into 'noodles'. I guess I never learned not to play with my food.

I voted a week or so ago by mail. Hoping for the best, planning for the worst...

I voted; I voted! And I made similar demands on my fellow Americans. I still think we are doomed--meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

I have never liked squash of any kind. I am fond of that joke, though.
