On Top Of Spaghetti
When I was a bus-riding school kid, sometimes we would burst into song, usually on the way home - kids are like that. Typically, the song was some silly ditty about the number of bottles of beer on the wall (counting down from 100 - drove the bus drivers to drink) but occasionally, it was this, sung to the tune of "On Top Of Old Smokey":On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed.
Now, I find that some enterprising soul has actually put the whole of the lyrics on the web. I don't think I knew all the words until now.
Anyway, I was reminded of that song the other night when I made spaghetti and, finding that my ParmReg had grown a fine crop of fuzz, decided to substitute ricotta salata instead. It was good, salty but good. It won't replace ParmReg in our universe but it made a nice change of pace and it brought back a silly memory and a smile - spaghetti is like that.

Thank you for this public service. Now, I will never look at a meatball the same way again.
Oh, you should experiment with cheeses. Grana Padano is a fine substitute, and I like the idea of your ricotta salata. Just never, never the green can. :P
One can find anything and everything on the web.... Kind of takes they mystery out, doesn't it. I never knew all the words, either!
I will never get that song out of my head now.
Okay, this is going to ruin my diet, but I'm adding you to my Google Reader so I can keep updated.
Have you ever posted about or shared how you take such great food photos?
We still sing that song with the preschoolers...and I know all the words!!!
Oooo that green can stuff, that turned me of all cheese for about 25 years!
Nancy, you're ever so welcome! :-)
Cookiecrumb, I promise, never, ever the green can. I think that is cheese-like food, anyway, not really cheese.
Katiez, actually, the nuns used to keep me in line by promising that I'd know the answers to all my questions when I got to heaven. Powerful incentive. Google is almost as good.
Kailyn, it has been ringing in my ears for a few days, too.
Zoie, no, I never felt my photos were much to brag about. But, since you're curious, I use a five year old Canon PowerShot SD800 IS, digital elph. It has a 3.8 zoom lens and 7.1 megapixels. Which is all cameraspeak for a pocket point-and-shoot camera. It has a closeup setting and I use that for most of my food photos. My photos take about a minute to line up and, typically, I don't take more than one shot. Thanks for asking.
Janie, I've always said that you are a marvel.
Ms Mouse, yes, nasty. Takes like belly button lint smells. Ugh.
