Everytime I make ravioli, I'm reminded of my first effort. I made dozens of ravioli using three different fillings. Super easy, all very delicious.
The problem occurred after freezing. I may be a bit dim but not stupid enough to stack ravioli on top of each other. I also didn't overlap them too much. They were simply lined up like kissing buttons in long rows. A week later I discovered that frozen ravioli stored this way will not separate so I left a row of them on the counter to thaw. Even at room temp, they remained stuck together. Finally, I thought perhaps they would fall apart when I boiled them. Nope.
Again, they tasted fine; just looked sillylike ravioli logs. And because they were biggish (3x3), my ravioli logs were almost too big to eat in one sitting. -

Some years ago, I went with friends to a restaurant after a movie. It's rare I wear white pants with a white shirt but because it was hot, I went with the white. The waitress brought our drinks but tripped when she was close to me. All 5 soda's went on my lap and to make matters worse, I jumped because of the cold ice cubes and knocked a plate of spaghetti over me. It landed on my chest and then slipped down to my lap. I was a mess and because my clothes and underclothes were white, everyone could see right through the clothes. Luckily, the spaghetti sauce covered some areas.
I've haven't worn all white since that time.

I had met a girl while working a summer job at a nearby amusement park. We hit it off pretty well so I asked her out. She said yes!
I decided on a very nice, very expensive restaurant that was thankfully, also very dark. We ordered and received our dinners. Deciding to get something classy for the occasion, I ordered 'Duck L'Orange'
As we're making small talk I stick my fork into a piece and start cutting. The knife slips, and launches the entire duck breast the length of the table, down onto the floor and beneath 2 more tables before it stops.
We look up at each other, and both are trying to hold in the gales of laughter that wanted to come. No one else in the place saw, or reacted, so we went back to eating and ended up dating for a few more months.
I recently reconnected on facebook and she tells me she still likes to tell the story.

This was right out of a sitcom/dumb comedy. We were three couples in a nice cocktail lounge. I was wearing a new green silk dress. The chairs were deep, and I'm short, so I was sitting forward leaving just enough room, behind me, to accommodate a full tray of drinks. Oh, yeah!
Two, from our group, were attorneys. They immediately began laying out plans for a lawsuit (joking, of course).
I felt the worst for the waiter, who was probably a starving student, suddenly terrified for his job. He was so distraught. We, actually, left him a huge tip - as my date said: "What the hell, they weren't OUR drinks."
(Yes, they paid for the cleaning.) -

You and I must have been eating at the same place.
The waitress in my case was the same way..terrified for her job but it wasn't her fault either. Another customer had his cane out and she tripped over that.

Years ago, as I settled into my seat at a
BB King concert
I looked around me and thought to myself:
"Man, o manit doesn't get much better than this!"
(seated center isle, only about 10 rows from the stage)
The O'Jays had just left the stage after a great set, and BB was waiting in the wings. Then, THE most beautiful nubian goddess I'd ever seen sat down next to me. Clad in what appeared to be a
very
expensive 3/4 length leather coat, she flashed a warm smile, and sat down bext to me.
Did I just say, "It doesn't get much better than this?" Well, things got
even better
when she reached inside her matching leather purse and produced a large bottle of Tennessee's finest sippin' whiskey:
Jack Daniels
, and offered me a taste!
"Why thank you, kind lady.."(or words to that affect) said I(trying my best to smooth on the charm
and then I "smoothly" spilled THE ENTIRE BOTTLE all over her chest & lap, completely ruining her coat, the show, and the evening!!!
I was so embarrassed and shaken that i didn't even bother trying to apologize. I jumped up and ran to the rear of the auditorium and watched the show standing up in the back of the criwd.
"Smooth" move, Count.

Was that from Caddyshack? Would you believe I've never seen the whole movie? But man I miss Rodneyeven after all this time I still can't believe he's gone.
How 'bout that crazy madras jacket he was rockin'

Count, you just gotta rent this flick! I miss Rodney too, but there's another great comedian in this movie who's now goneTed Knight. Besides the hysterical dialog, the sight gags abound. One of the all-time greatest comedies!
If I had a dollar for every girl that found me unattractive they'd eventually find me attractive -

"Ted Knight"
TN was out of his mind, lol! He was SO FUNNY, especially on the old MTM show. Check out this clip from back in the dayit really made me, lol.
re:Caddyshack
Oh I've seen Caddyshackit's hysterical! I just have never sat down and watched it from start to finish.
Rodney was a comedic genius as far as I'm concerned. THE funniest man who ever walked this earth. He's definitely on my "Mount Rushmore of Comedy" along with George Carlin, Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphyhonorable mention goes to Martin Short.
sigh
It's good to laugh, no?

I've probably shared this one before, but it's worth repeating.
My baby sister and I were latchkey kids growing up. That would never happen in this day and age. One mild February day we came home from school and she announced that she was hungry and wanted to make some food for herself, at eight years old she was starting to get more independent so I told her to go in the kitchen and pick out what she wanted. She came back holding a packet of ramen noodles. I told her to cook it in the microwave for about 3 minutes and come get me when it was done so she wouldn't burn herself taking it out. I didn't even have to wait the three minutes. The smell of burning plastic had me running into the kitchen just before the Tupperware bowl burst into flames. She didn't put any water in the bowl. The stench was so horrible that I had to open all the windows and we evacuated the house until my parents came home. My mom almost yelled at me about the windows until she walked in the house, where the evidence was still lingering.
My mom still laughs about that story. Needless to say, my sister didn't make anything else before first asking exactly how to do so.

OHHH! As soon as I read that a younger sibling cooked instant ramen in the microwave, I had a feeling they'd either forget to A) take the packaging and flavor packs out or B) add water.
Those noodles are manufactured with some kind of preservative wax too, so the stench must've been putrid. -

That story reminds me of a friend in high school. Her sister loved Andes Mints, and she liked them melted.
Well, one day she must have decided to melt them herself unsupervised.with the foil wrapper still on.
Sparks galore! Luckily there was no fire!
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.

one more:
Back in the late 1970's, I was a supervisor in a midnight shift computer room. We had a modest eating room with a microwave oven. One fine night, one of my techy's decided to place two eggs in the shell in the microwave. About a minute into the cooking, there was an audible "thud"and it was obvious that the eggs exploded. I had this fellow clean the mess up which took the better part of his mealtime. It gets betterthe very next nightshift, the same techy brought in 2 eggs again, but this time cracked them open into a microwave safe dishw/o breaking the yolksand yessir, they exploded again!!!
Needless to say, his egg eating days were over.:-) -

More spilled drinks
Just boarded a plane on a flight from Salt Lake City to Atlanta. I ordered a Bourbon; my neighbor ordered a Coke. I'm on the aisle as usual and since my neighbor is settled in, I fasten my seatbelt naturally. So my seat mate, Linda from San Jose, CA, yes, I'm talking to you, immediately knocks her full Coke in to my seat. I jump up but my seatbelt prevents me from moving and because the seats are leather/pleather, every ounce of the cola soaks in to my light colored khakis. These are not heavy duty material pants mind you. They're very light thin cotton comfortable 15 hours on a plane type pants.
So I unbuckle and jump up making a bit of a ruckus ripping the plastic off my blanket and start wiping my bottom area. The flight attendant tells me I need to sit down as people are trying to board but after I show her what happened she brings over a couple of fresh blankets and tucks them on my seat hoping they will absorb some of the Coke from my pants. Didn't work. I sat in wet pants for 4 hours.
When we arrive in Atlanta, I ask Linda how I look and she says fine. On my way out, I ask my flight attendant the same and she gives me a look and shakes her head. Yup, looked exactly like, well, you know. I ended up running around looking for a clothes store and ended up buying some very overpriced and ill-fitting pants at the Atlanta airport, nearly missing my connection.
Thanks Linda from San Jose! Very sweet lady actually.
