So a couple of days or weeks ago (it’s hard to remember during this pandemic) I told Earl we were done watching “The Mothers-In-Law” on Amazon Prime. While the show can be mildly entertaining if someone in the audience is drunk, we got into the latter half of season one and it just felt like really bad “I Love Lucy” retreads.
But then I got the outrageous theme song in my head and I ended up watching a couple of episodes, finishing up the first season.
And then last night I dreamed about conversing with Kaye Ballard about how I make my homemade pasta sauce. Wild, right?
Kaye was chewing up the scenery of my dream as we talked about basil and oregano and whole tomatoes and I was chewing up the scenery right along with her as I told her never, NEVER, N E V E R put sugar in spaghetti sauce, I put a couple of shredded carrots in there to take out some of the natural bitterness.
The dream was as outrageous and insane as Kaye Ballard’s delivery of Kaye Buell’s lines one the late 1960s show.
And now I’m in the mood to make some homemade spaghetti sauce this weekend.
