SPAGHETTI-O’S !!!
Spaghettti-O’s? OK, what pure-blooded American kid hasn’t
eaten tons of SpaghettiOs over the years. Well some I guess, if they had
parents that didn’t like processed foods. Dude was actually too old to have
eaten them as a child as Spaghetti-O’s weren’t invented and put on the market
til 1965. No Dude discovered then in college when a college buddy of the Dude
turned him on the wonderful little invention, round shaped pasta in tomato
straight from the can. All you had to do was open the can, dump the
Spaghetti-O’s into a pan and heat them up, and “Voila” you had a tasty little
meal ready in minutes. Kids just loved them, and they still do. They’re a
favorite of Stoners who are known to get serious munchies, which of-course
includes our pal, The Dude. Dude has loved these tasty little suckers ever
since his first taste. He usually keeps a couple cans on hand for a fast,
quick, and easy; lunch, dinner, or late-night munchies attack. However, one
day, one of Dudes other buddies showed Dude how to make his own home-made
Spaghetti-O’s and with or without “Franks” (Hot Dogs) or Meatballs. Dude just loved
the idea and makes himself a big-batch now and then, which once made, Dude can
keep in a container in the fridge, to be heated-up at will in just a few
minutes time. Great idea.
