A Nice Steaming Pile of........Spaghetti?
I wanted to make a super simple dinner tonight so that I could get out of the house with Mia to trick or treat and let Shelby put Lennon to bed and get some work done. I bought some store pasta sauce and made spaghetti. As we were sitting down to eat - Lennon had already started - Mia said "something smells like animal poo." "Well Angel's been inside all day it's probably just his litter box." I said. Then I sat down and took a bite of my salad and noticed that I too smelled this animal smell. It smelled exactly like zoo poo. Then Shelby, having already taken a bite of his food smelled his plate and agreed with us. After a few minutes of looking awkwardly at each other and inspecting the jar of sauce we decided it must just be the basil in the sauce that was making it smell like that. "It's weird, it smells just like poop, but it still tastes good." Said Mia. I took a few bites and it really didn't taste bad, but I couldn't move beyond the thought. It seriously smelled like I was eating a petting zoo. So gross. Now I have a giant pot of zoo poo pasta sitting in the fridge that will most likely go to waste. So, word to the wise - Do not buy Muir Glen Organic Tomato Basil pasta sauce. It smells like petting zoo poo.

I laughed hysterically at this story. It sounds like my life with small kids all over again. You really captured the smell, er...moment! I won't buy that sauce, trust me!
