So hungry, I could eat a horse

It is not easy to guesstimate how much pasta to throw in the pot, especially when you are starving! Without fail, I prepare excessive amounts and end up having spaghetti for quite a few days.
The SPAGHETTI MEASURING TOOL would come in very handy, it shows the appropriate portions for a child, an adult and a horse (family).

A Girl and Five Brave Horses

Sonora Craver’s autobiography tells the tale of her journey to fame as a woman who dove 40 feet into a tank of water on horseback, and with detached retinas! Her story inspired the movie “Wild Hearts Cant Be Broken”. I have to admit I must have watched this movie a million times when I was a kid, I was obsessed!
