Pasta Bravo

When I was in third grade, my class took a field trip to a near by high school to see their performance of ‘Huck Finn.’
The sets were okay. The acting was sub-​par. The entire production, sans the free baggie of popcorn and Capri-​Sun that we were greeted at the door with, was average. It was everything you would expect in a 20^th century high school rendition of a 19^th century novel. A bit off, slightly confusing, but much better than long division and language arts in a hot bungalow. Nothing that anyone would jump to their feet, clap and exclaim ‘Bravo’ for upon the curtain falling.
That’s how I felt about this Pasta Bravo. Everything about the spaghetti that I ate was average. Dull in taste and watery. The pasta was okay, but it didn’t impress. The sauce had excess spaghetti-​water diluting it. The watery mixture snapped up a fair amount of the minimal flavor the sauce did have. It was everything you’d expect from a $ 6 plate of spaghetti. Nothing I’d jump to my feet, upon the finishing of a plate, and yell ‘Bravo’ for.
Next time I’m opting out for a baggie of popcorn and a Capri-​Sun… That never disappoints.

Steve and I walked in. Empty. Hey, quick service we thought! And we weren’t disappointed.
Spaghetti and meatballs really isn’t that hard.
I got the lunch special once. The pasta was fine. The meatball was fine. The breadstick was fine. The side salad was acceptable.
The watery marinara sauce was not. Watery.
Next time, I’ll try the lasagna, which seemed to be the better choice. Stay tuned.
