Woo's Spaghetti
Ingredients
1 can of chili (no beans)
1 small can of sliced mushrooms
1 small can of sliced black olives
1 bowl of Pace salsa (medium)
8 oz spaghetti
1/2 lb meatballs or ground beef (for the deluxe version)
Cooking
1. Start water boiling in a pot
2. In a separate pot or big pan, brown ground beef
3. To meat, add other ingredients except spaghetti and simmer
4. Cook spaghetti
5. Serve, good for about two or three people
It's not a complicated recipe. You don't need salt since the chili and
salsa have salt. It's a tomato light spaghetti sauce with a bit of
spicyness. Adjust ingredients according to personal preference.
Woo made this pasta at DaveCon and it was very good though he made so
much that there were leftovers for the next three meals. I made it last
Saturday and it turned out fine. Really, it's all canned or premade
stuff so it's hard to mess up this recipe.

Yesterday
after work I went to my sister Stephanie's for dinner. She had some
leftover crab-pasta casserole she made last weekend I guess. You eat it
with ground up cheese and add salt. It's ok but it's crab which is not
my favorite meat. I tend to think that crab has a dark or bitter
aftertaste. Still, it was good and I had some salad and a chicken
sandwhich.
Today I'm "working from home", which means I'm taking it easy to rest.
Probably will have to pay for it later by working part of the weekend.
But I really want to catch up with some miscellaneous stuff. This
journal entry, some reviews I've mean meaning to write, convert a few
catalog items to the new format, update the reading list with 2003
books, prep for Saturday's GURPS BattleTech session. Lots of little
things I need to find the energy to do.
I've been slowly reading Clinton's autobiogaphy. Steph gave me the book
Wednesday night and last night I reached the 350-page mark, so 50 pages
a day. Not a bad rate but I haven't been reading anything else really.
It looks like I can read about 100 pages of paperback books or 50 pages
of a real book each day. Hopefully I should be by about page 700 by the
time we go to mom and dad's for Thanksgiving. Then I can finish the
book Thursday and Friday so that I can leave it for dad to read.
It's been a really good book. Clinton has a good memory. Perhaps like
most autobiographies he doesn't dwell on some things that are
inappropriate, but I really don't need to know certain things. He tries
not to be too superior and right and he has plenty of things he did
wrong but that he learned from. It's also a good look at politics and
policy making, the whole political process which is much more
complicated than you'd think.
