Bologna!

Remember that tried and true method everyone used to use as a standard norm for figuring out if your spaghetti was ready yet?

You know, the one that was depicted so lovingly in that movie, The Big Chill.

It's the method where you take a piece, and toss it against the wall to see if it sticks.

If it doesn't stick, the pot needs to boil a bit longer. If the noodle sticks to the wall, then it's ready to eat!

Well, one of my triplets decided to expand upon that very same principal the other night.

The only difference was that he was NOT experimenting with boiling spaghetti, he was trying out the sticky properties of lunch-meat.

Yep, Kian decided to beg a piece of Bologna from his Daddy, who was innocently snacking in the kitchen.

It's not unusual for the kids to ask to try something that he is eating, either, so he thought nothing of tearing off a bit and giving it to him to taste.

Boy was he shocked when Kian took it, looked at it, and tossed it at one of the kitchen cabinets to see what would happen.

I suppose you could say that it was definitely "Done" as it stuck like glue to that cabinet.

It even left a big greasy stain, but husband didn't mind much (as husbands are not usually given to thinking about such matters anyways!)

Kian found the sticky properties of Bologna soo very funny, that he peeled it off of the cabinet, ran back a little bit, and tossed it yet AGAIN!

Did you know that the same piece of Bologna can be re-tossed about five times before it finally loses some of its sticky abilities?

It took about that long for Kian to get tired of playing with it, too.

So, after a last toss, and peeling that piece of Bologna off of the cabinet, he popped the whole thing, muck and all, into his mouth and happily munched away on it before anyone could do anything about it.

EEwww, gross! But at least now we know that Bologna, like a fully cooked spaghetti noodle, can and most certainly will stick to your kitchen wall or cabinet!
