Sometimes you do things over and over again in your life having no idea you're doing it completely wrong.
Until last year for instance my niece thought the word was "chickmunk". Clearly, it is not. But she had no idea. It worked for her her whole life, the word "chickmunk". She didn't end up in jail because of using it, she never once had her house repossessed and didn't turn to drugs because of it. But once I pointed out to her that the actual word was "chipmunk", her life got a little bit better. Easier. More fulfilling. Colours were brighter. She won prizes and stuff.
And so I am going to teach all of you how to do something you probably think you've been doing just fine over your entire lifetime.
I'm going to teach you how to properly open a package of spaghetti.
How to Open Spaghetti
How to properly open a cellophane package of spaghetti.
Get ready for the fireworks and prizes.

I was thinking you would slit the packet open with a knife. Well I have learnt something new today Karen. Thank you.

Dammit, I get my spaghetti in a box.

Well, as a mentor of mine always said..."the learning never stops"...just didn't think he was referring to the humble package of spaghetti.

I can't believe I just watched a video about how to open spaghetti. Mind you, I am the mother of child who eats girl-ed cheese sandwiches and begs to go to Starabucks and Old McDonalds. ;)
Olga
are you kidding me! I actually had to watch it twice because I thought maybe I blinked and you did some kind of a trick with your hands. Amazing! And they can't put this instructions on the package?
Diane
Indeed - hahahahad to share that with my fella!

It's the simple things that make life more enjoyable. Just tell me that I don't have to clean out my tool drawer every time I want spaghetti! I love it. Thanks Karen.

Thank you! I had to quickly take a look at the video to see what top I was wearing. :) I took a quick look at your website and I LOVE the sampler quilt you're doing. The colours are perfect! My mother is making me the Farmer's Wife Sampler quilt right now. :) ~ karen
