Attack of the Macaroni

Yesterday, I poured a whole box of large elbow macaroni into a boiling pot of water.  Ten minutes later, the macaroni was cooked and swollen, almost spilling out of the pot.  I think I probably used half the water I needed to make as much as I did.  When I transferred the macaroni to the strainer, they could barely fit into the whole thing!  Lesson learned.  It was perhaps the largest mass of macaroni that I have ever seen with mine own eyes.

My mom shared with me something she had written in her journal a while ago:

Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you can’t get them back.
So tie your friends to your heart so you’ll never lose them.

You are all tied to my heart.  And I miss you, Eric R.!  Don’t float away …
