Lol I can relate to this! 😧😒😔

Aww, you didn’t have to delete that. I believe you’re technically correct, since proper spaghetti is an extruded pasta.

I like all noodles, so I ignored the technicality.

Lol I did think of that, but I still thought most people’s mouths would need a break, and the second that noodle stops moving and trips the gag reflex, all chaos could break loose! That’s potentially a lot of night to have change course on you! 😧

Exactly! I agree with the photographer, I’ve never seen anything quite like this. It was a very cool photo find.

I always heard it as: 'scuse me while I bite this guy. 😜

I felt we were due for more Buffy.

I’m also on a book that has some phoenixes in it, so it felt doubly appropriate to me.

That is some suit! 😆

I don’t even think you’d need a special pot. A fresh noodle into enough water you can provide gentle agitation without whacking the noodle excessively, slide it out the pot into a colander, and then again gently slide onto plate. If you want more even saucing, I’d go from colander back into a pot with some sauce on bottom, then pour more sauce over top, and out to plate to get a more even coating without having to pull the noodle through sauce. You could even hand form the noodle with a bit of work. Roll noodle dough into a sheet and make alternating cuts like this and then smooth out the bends.

To me, the real trouble with a long noodle is: then what? Would you slurp a 100 ft noodle in one go, stopping for breaths?

Lately owls just dont seem the same

It’s certainly not the look someone gives an invited guest. 😁

They’re such grumpy little Muppets. I love them. 🥰

This larger one is actually the plush I was looking at for the open house event! It sounded like it should be life sized, but it’s good to see it in context. I think it was the International Owl Center that had a collection of lifelike and life-sized plushies that they weighted with beans inside to get them to the correct weight as well. Since we can’t let outside people handle our animals, this would give people a next-best experience to see the size and weight of an owl with their own hands.

I found a very similar life-sized Screech, but he’s out of stock right now. The Screech and GHO would give my guests the 2 most common owls where we live.

I was just saying in another recent post that I wonder what that sound is like for them with their super hearing? Can their brain filter down the perceived sound level or does that bee sound like the neighbor mowing their lawn the second the sun rises?

And as for the owl itself, what does it think exactly is going to happen if you catch that bee? You still have a normal tongue and soft palette! With their breathing hole being at the back of their tongue, that could be quite dangerous.
