Here comes dinner time

And I haven't got any wine.

Chocolate will easily suffice

 With dinner easily nice.

 

No time for glitz and glam

I've, also, run out of ham.

There's always spaghetti waiting

Yes, I think that'll be just the thing!

 

Diabolically Delicious and Easy Spaghetti

 Tomato creaminess on noodles

 

 Makes:  Enough for a toddler and a snack for you
 

Ingredients:

4 oz spaghetti broken into thirds
1 good pinch salt - don't hold back 
1 cup pasta sauce - whatever kind you want
 
And, now, for my secret ingredient.  Are you ready for this?
 
2 Tablespoons salted butter
 

Directions:

Boil enough water to cook your pasta.  If you have some extra broth, toss some splashes in the pot as well.  It'll add more flavor and some healthy nutrients, too.  
 
Now, as you wait for that water to boil, is the perfect time to ponder the all important aspects of life.  Have I had enough chocolate yet?  How can I get out of going to that meeting with the HOA?  Where's West going to hide his next stink bomb?
 
Aha!  We've got boilage!
 
As soon as the noodles go in, add that hefty pinch of salt as well.  Stir, stir, stir and set the timer.  How do you like your noodles?  Regular, creamy, or al dente?  I feel like I'm channeling Cousin Vinny.  Either way, check the box and set the timer, usually it's close to ten minutes or so.
 
Plenty of time for a certain someone to get his baby hands into some mischief.  Oh, goodness!  Where is more chocolate?  I must have more chocolate!  I know it, he's hiding a stink bomb right now, isn't he!!!????  AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!  Get me some chocolate!
 
Ah, all better. 
 
Give those noodles a few stirs as they cook.
 
The timer goes off, time to strain that spaghetti.  Check the floor first!!!!!!!!!  Has a little, diabolical dude left something slippery waiting just for you?
 
A banana peel?  Really?
 
With the coast clear, dump the cooked and drained spaghetti back in the pot and add the sauce.  Stir, stir, stir.  Let your anger out.  Darth Mommy, here!
 
Maybe there is some wine in these chocolates after all.
 
Stir the noodles and sauce until they're well mixed.  Now, add that wonderfully delicious, salted butter.  Stir, stir, stir.  Feel your anger coming out as you mix.  Watch the sauce smooth into a tomatoey cream. 
 
Voila!  
 
That's all.  Now, watch as baby gobbles it up.
 

 More in the mouth than on the floor!  I'll call that a success.  
 
Now, if only I can find what that diabolical dude did with the spoon...

Diabolical New Year's Resolutions

 As Logged By: Agent Rose The new year has sprung at last With a party that was a blast. What to do with so much cake? That Mommy clearly didn't need to bake. The time has come for this undercover sweetie To be diabolical with Mommy's sweet tea. It needs a little extra flavor. Some added carrot that she can savor.  What a party!  What a blast!   We rang in the new year.  I partied so hard that I ran out of toots!   Now, morning has come and I am ready for some applesauce.   When I go into the kitchen, however, I am met with a sight that has me gasping in awe.   How many cakes did Mommy make?  Sure, we sang and cheered.  Sure, we invited family and friends.  Sure...   But, it wasn't that many people.   Cakes are stacked here.  Cakes are stacked there.  When did she make a double layer red velvet cake?  I don't remember seeing that last night.   And I thought the piles of Christmas cookies was too much. ...

 As Logged By: Agent Chase  Daylight savings has left this diabolical baby Wishing for a nap, or two, even three.  Maybe? The government said they'd fix it. Why, then, is Mommy buttering my biscuit?   Maybe Gobbles can be diabolical. Except he's not all that maniacal. Sleep, sleep, sleep, I say. I'll be diabolical another day.  Shush!   Too much moving through the house.  Mommy and Daddy, SHUSH!   The sun isn't even out!   "Wakey, wakey, Little Chase," Mommy whispers as she tiptoes closer.  "It's time to get up."   Impossible!  As I said, the sun isn't even out!  How could it possibly be going on eight?  How could...     NO!   I turn my groggy head to the side.  On the night stand, the little clock flashes eight o'clock.  No sun, no cheery birds chirping, no snuggly warm sun rays stretching through my window.  That can only mean one thing.   It's Daylight Savings time.   An...
