Set up auto mortgage pay. Yay?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

TJ's Tortellini - it's what's for dinner.

Cooking directions include:

Anyone know what the cold water does?

Shocks the pasta and stops the cooking process. Keeps starches from making the pasta sticky and clumpy.

Now I'm tempted to sing that (to the tune of "Shock the Monkey") but that would entail turning off TV on the Radio, and that would be wrong....
