A Story About A Spaghetti Squash

Have you ever tried to make spaghetti squash before?

I have, It's very delicious and innovative in the different techniques used to make it.

Well, the reason I bring it up is that I want to tell you a story. A story about a spaghetti squash.

Once upon a time a little spaghetti squash was grown and picked from its farmers.

Then the farmer's shipped it to the grocery store where people like you and I pick it up to cook and eat.

In the process of bringing it home, it got bounced around the car amongst the rest of the groceries.

When it finally came time to cook the spaghetti squash there were two different methods of getting the spaghetti out of the squash so-to-speak;
the microwave or the oven.

I chose the microwave.

The first thing you need to do before putting this vegetable in the microwave is poking as many holes in the sucker as possible.

I didn't understand the meaning or reasoning behind poking these holes but, I did it anyway.

I placed the spaghetti squash in the microwave, set the timer, and start.

I start to get the rest of the ingredients ready when all of sudden...BANG! Half of the spaghetti squash comes out of the microwave,
all over the floor, the countertop, inside the microwave. It sounded like a gun went off.

It scared me to death.

I found out why the holes were needed after that.

Apparently, I didn't poke enough holes in the squash and it erupted like a volcano.

After taking the extra time to pick up the mess I sat down and took a breath.

Needless to say, I learned my lesson. Always poke holes in your squash, you can never have too many.
