Braided Spaghetti Bread
By Joy
You wanna know what one of the worst things in the world is?
Coming home from hanging out with a bunch of friends, looking in the mirror and seeing that you have a hunk of food stuck in your front teeth.
My first thought is “HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN HERE?” and my second thought is “Whyyyy didn’t anyone alert me of this?”
What is it with people who don’t want to tell their friends when they have food stuck in their teeth? The second I notice something in your teeth, I tell you, because I know I wouldn’t want to be walking around all day with that, talking to people as they TRY with all their might to focus on the conversation and not that branch sticking out of my teeth.
I think there’s like a certain amount of time that you’re allotted to wait to tell someone news like this. If you wait too long, then when you DO tell them, the guilty person will be all like “Why didn’t you tell me when we first started talking? Oh, that’s what you were staring at”. Indeed, there is a time buffer. And the longer you wait, the more awkward and harder it gets to tell that person about the food in their teeth.

Let’s do everybody a favor and just TELL each other when you have food in your teeth. It saves us all some embarrassment and unnecessary awkwardness.

The carb lover in me is dying over this bread. It looks amazing!

I’m already planning more versions. haha Maybe with meatballs or some other toppings. I’m gonna go finish off this plate of amazing now.
