First World Problems: My Raviolis Come From Two Different Packages
So I have this thing where I don’t like to combine food items from different packages. Like, if I have a package of spaghetti and I don’t have enough left in the package to make a batch, I will leave the remaining noodles in the package and open a new one, making the batch of spaghetti completely from the new package.
I currently have seventeen bags of spaghetti that have less than a serving of noodles in them because I don’t want to throw them away but I can’t use them because using them means I have to combine them.
They are perfectly good noodles. There is nothing wrong with them. But I just can’t combine them because they come from different packages.
It’s the same with ravioli.
It’s the same with parmesan.
It’s the same with feta.
Hell, it’s the same with broccoli and broccoli doesn’t even come from a package. If I have two heads of broccoli that I bought at two different times, I can’t combine them.
What in the actual HELL.
Anyone else have this stupid issue?
Irrational Pasta Nonsense
So I’ve gotten into this habit that before make spaghetti, I have to dump the whole container of it out on the counter and then measure each and every strand against the others to pick the straightest and most uniformly long noodles to use as my portion. This process takes about 30 minutes.
Yes, I am aware that the pasta all gets turned into the same mushy wiggles in the end.
The rational part of my brain knows this.
But the pasta-sorting part of my brain is much more persuasive and jumps at the chance to spend half an hour sorting through the entire bag of spaghetti.
Who knows. It’s probably some sort of “control” thing. I can’t control anything else in my life, so let’s CONTROL ALL THE PASTA LENGTHS.
I hate myself.
