I had a “Final Destination” moment on the freeway the other day. You know, where things go falling off of a semi and crash into cars on the freeway.
My DB and I were driving back from a little trip to visit Stanford since he’s never been, and we passed by a semi holding eight porta potties onboard. We didn’t really think anything of it as we drove by. For some reason, both of us were looking in the rear view mirror when we saw it happen it slow motion.
One porta potty fell off to the left of the semi, just a couple yards from us. Luckily, there wasn’t a car close behind, so no one was hurt. Just seconds after the first one fell, a second porta potty came tumbling onto another lane of the freeway.
I kid you not, this stuff really does happen all the time. And it’s dangerous. Really, really dangerous. Can you imagine if there was a car right next to the semi when it happend? What if all the cars behind him were going 80 miles per hour? What a disaster that would be!
So I’m not crazy when I say I won’t drive behind semis that are transporting things.. whether it be cars, logs, or porta potties, I’ll be avoiding them as much as I possibly can.
Whenever I’m a loss at what to make for dinner, I turn to my usual: pasta. I can eat pasta and pizza everyday. Although, I probably wouldn’t recommend that diet to anyone unless you want to gain 10000 pounds.
This recipe is easy to whip up and I’m sure the majority of you guys already have the ingredients in your pantry. I served this with some chicken, but it tastes great alone if you just want plain ol’ pasta.
Ingredients
- 8 oz fettucine
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- juice of 1/4 of a lemon
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp red pepper flakes
- cracked black pepper to taste
Directions
- Cook pasta until al dente according to the package's directions.
- When done, drain. Return the pasta back to the pot and add in the rest of the ingredients. Stir until evenly coated.
I totally feel you. I could eat pasta every day all day too! It looks so yummy in this pictures.
