Posted 14 Dec 2007 Never trust a puddle that starts half way up a wall. Along the kettle lines a girl I know's boyfriend and his cousin has come to stay with her for the week. Apparently he is a domesticated disaster she was at school all day so they sat at home and starved, so she got them ragu pasta sauce and noodles for the next day. Apparently he tried to cook the noodles (entire bag of spaghetti noodles) in a inch of water and tried to make the sauce by putting the bottle in boiling water :D 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
