**BECAUSE I HAVE 10 1/2 FRICKEN POUNDS OF IT**

So its no big secret that I suck in the kitchen. I can cook a great steak but thats the end of it.

So anyhow. Me and my roomate have patriots season tickets. Its my turn to drive, pick up the beer for tailgating and the food for tomorrows game.

I figured I would cook some pasta tonight too. I I used a whole box of spaghetti a whole box of ziti a whole family sized bag of meatballs and what looked close to a liter and a half of sauce. In the store it didnt look like that much

_Looking back on it I should have looked at the suggested serving sizes_

As the pasta was boiling it didnt look like that much. And figued maybe we would have some leftovers for tomorrow.

As the pasta boiled, it grew and grew and grew some more. UNtill it was literally above the pot and absorbed all the water.

I had to go borrow a bowl from my sister across the street to fit it all in because my biggest one was **WAY** too small.

So out of curiosity I put it on my digital scale and the bad larry weighed in at a whopping 10.5 lbs.

Leeks like I will be eating spaghetti and meatballs through christmas.

I am done cooking.
