It appears to be a spaghetti bolognese but I am not able to recall specifically.

    A neighbor of mine once offered me spaghetti she had made. She was an elderly Italian lady and I happily agreed knowing she made great food.

    Her daughter delivered the food in a giant plastic bag with all the pasta and sauce mixed in.

    My wife was really turned off by the offer and said it was weird.

    I grew up poor and I didn’t think anything of it … the food was great!!

      I know… we can only look back on the past and wonder “what if”. Live your life to the fullest.

      I think he requested $20 CAD for this gastronomic experience. It was too rich for my blood back then. $20 had a lot more pull.

      I couldn’t agree more. In hindsight I regret not taking the young man up on his offer. Things could have been really different.

        I had a friend who filled up his pool with spaghetti around that time. He didn’t have enough sauce to go all the way but for a moment our little town was famous.

        He ended up writing a book about it.

      I believe the going rate at the time was $20 CAD. A steep price for me at that time.
