Close

I was close. Really really close. We had finished cooking a tomato sauce and then a pasta gratin with that sauce. We had eaten. I had put the rest of the gratin in tupperware for tomorrows lunch. I had put almost all of the left over sauce in tupperware to be frozen. I had done all this IN A WHITE SHIRT without getting a single spot on me. I made K aware of this astonishing fact, 'I was going to be the first amateur cook to accomplish this feat' . Then I scraped the two remaining tablespoons of sauce out of the pan and managed to make a big splash that covered me in red dots.
