You know, I have written about many things the past couple of years.  The Lunar Report topics have covered families, moms, dads, holidays, jail time, court dates, hornet attacks, lost loves, “the dark period,” politicians, life, death, hope, despair, and even Tiger Woods.  And I post the Lunar Report link on Facebook each week.

Nothing I have ever written on any Lunar Report has gotten as much attention as have my stupid and simple one or two line posts on Facebook about my mother’s spaghetti.  Nothing.

Oh, sure.  On Facebook, The Lunars get the two or three polite responses from some really good and loyal friends.  But on three separate occasions, I have posted something about Mama’s spaghetti.  Here’s the first one:

Now the original post was actually done by my niece:

"‘for those of you who know....Grandmother Moon's spaghetti and Double Good Blueberry Pie...enough said.’”

Now the blueberry pie has nothing to do with my mama, but the first few responses were your run of the mill kind of polite stuff.  You know, “Oh, yummy,”  “Better let your waistband out,” that sort of thing.  

Then came my response:

“Was the spaghetti with or without chili sauce?”

Look out Facebook!  39 additional responses!  39!

Here’s the second post from just the other night:

"Family. I am making Mama's spaghetti. No! There will be no chili sauce. But I didn't use Heinz OR Hunt's ketchup. Uh.... sorry, Mama.... I went with the Food Lion brand!”

23 responses.

Here’s the third:

"Okay. Even though Monday is Independence Day, Monday's Lunar Report may simply be my mama's spaghetti recipe. I don't think I can be more provocative than providing a spaghetti recipe that includes ketchup!

25 responses.

So, here it is.  Probably the most provocative Lunar Report ever.  My mother’s “Carolina Spaghetti” recipe.  It’s perfect for single men like me.  My spice rack contains three things:  salt, pepper and ketchup.  Now before you double over from nausea, keep this in mind.  The nationally famous local restaurateur from Carrboro, North Carolina and owner of Mama Dip’s restaurant on Rosemary Street in Chapel Hill, Mildred Council also uses ketchup in her spaghetti sauce.  Check her cookbook.  So put your big-girl panties on (I got that line from “Real Housewives of New Jersey!”  I just had to use it.), read it and cook it!

Oh yeh.  You’ll have to click the “Lunacy” link to get the recipe.  You really didn’t think I would just post the recipe here without putting out some drivel, did you?

Enjoy!
