No, these aren't ants, roaches or beetles....they are the uncooked penne pasta shells that scattered all over the floor tonight as I was trying to finish up my cooking for the entire week. One snip of the scissors, one slight lift of the plastic bag and whoooosh...clatter. Out came all of the pasta. All except for the 10 or so conscientious objectors who decided to remain behind.
The conscientious objectors
What did I do this the mess you might ask? Certainly I didn't use it? Yup. Hey, it was going to be boiled anyhow and it is not like I am going to serve it to guests. I boiled it up, measured some of it out into baggies to freeze and deal with later and mixed up the rest with some shrimp from Trader Joes! Yum-O!

Doth my ears deceive me?! You of all people are going to eat pasta off the floor! I'm in shock! Hold on let me sit down. Okay, okay I guess I'm being a little dramatic! :)
Thine ears did not deceive thee O Sweet Home Livin'! Whilst it be no wonderment that thou shouldst marvel at the displeasurable prospect of floor-contaminated pasta, let me remind thee of the not-so-distant past in which thou too was a college student; hungry, poor and in an insatiable search of the economical lifestyle. Alas and alack! Economy is a necessity for the likes of us college folk. LOL!
Trust me girl...with my food safely background, you KNOW I would be the last person to knowingly eat something unsafe.
