True story time.

About 15 years ago I asked a girl over, and offered to cook her dinner. When she asked what I planned on making, I replied, "spaghetti" (because, let's face it, it's easy to make). Then she asked *how* I was making it. Weird, but I replied, "Well, I use regular spaghetti, with cooked beef and spaghetti sauce. I usually just use the stuff in a jar, but if you like, I can also make it from scratch, or I can get a different type of pasta."

She asked, "do you use ketchup?"

"What? God, no."

"GOOD." Turns out she was invited to a spaghetti dinner not long before where her host served her pasta with ketchup on it. The very idea is stomach-churning to me.

These are the worst kind of tourists. They don't want to go, they just want to have been.

Reminds me of an old boyfriend I had.

One time, when we were about 16, I had him over for dinner, and my mom decided to cook him a nice steak dinner (bless her soul, but, retrospectively, he didn't deserve it). It included seasoned grilled asparagus, and it was delicious.

We sit down for dinner and fill our plates, and my boyfriend asks, "Do you have any ketchup?" Cue my entire family glancing at each other and then the nice meal before us. After him repeating it, I went to the fridge and pulled out the ketchup.

The kid started dumping it all over the asparagus until it looked like someone used the poor vegetable as a tampon. He began eating it with his fingers in front of my horrified family.

We broke up due to unrelated reasons.
