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

Get ready for the fireworks and prizes.

Felicia Kramer
You are too funny!! Thanks for my morning laugh!
Ann Roberts
OMG-funny. I love your blog. First saw it during the chicken coop build. BTW-my chickens laid their first egg yesterday. I was over the moon with the little beauty!
I will forever more open spaghetti this way :-)
Jen
SO funny! Thanks for the laugh.
Sarah
Thanks for the smile this morning! Loved it!!!
Langela
Ummmm does it work the same for the spaghetti in boxes? Please help me, Karen. I want to win prizes and stuff!
Karen
Langela - Don't be silly. Of course it doesn't work with boxes. Boxes you just throw against the wall. ~ karen

BTW, funny spaghetti- related story. My ex-sister-in-law came out of her bedroom one morning to find her kids had been pretending to be birds. Their nest was every piece of spaghetti in the house and they were perched on top of it on top of the couch. Those stories are always funnier when you aren't the one cleaning it up.
Karen
Ohhhhhh that *is* funny. ~ karen
Angela N
Ha!! Now, what to do if your spaghetti comes in a box???????
Daphne Rodrigue
OMG! That's just too funny for the morning. Loved the drama of it all. I was thinking - what would you use the mallet for...
Thanks - just love your blog! It's a great way to start the day.
latenac
That's lovely. Now I'll have to buy spaghetti in that packaging to try it.
blake

Linda McMullan
Ha! Wah? Hee Hee. You made me laugh before 8:00 AM. Can't wait to cook pasta now.
Nicole
Wow, clever! Too bad I buy the Catelli Smart pasta in a box...
Jen
Hahahahahahaha! I love it!
I think the music you chose for the video makes it particularly funny. :D
Janet
You are so funny, start my morning with your blog,before I get down to working, Thanks.
p.s. On my fourth apron, they look pretty good.I think the bazaar will be happy with my donation.
Karen
Excellent! I use mine almost every day. ~ karen
Sue
How about refinishing the dent in your nice wood table. Will that be the next video? You are a riot! Now I am franticly searching for the little couple with a package of spaghetti in my hand!
my honest answer
Oh my god. Shocked.
Because I was sitting there thinking, Ha, I know this one. I was like the ONLY person who knew about the tabs on the sides of foil and cling wrap boxes; me and Karen, we're basically the same person. We KNOW how to open spaghetti. With scissors.
And then my world fell apart.
lori jones
what tabs are you talking about?? please clue me in!
Lucy
Spaghetti is in the top 3 staples of my food choices. I thought everyone did it this way. Any that fly out are eaten before cooking. Also, the dry ones make excellent "matches" in a pinch.
Bev
Hahahahahahahahahahaha ... you're an idiot! (In a good way) Hahahaha love it. Hammer included.
