A Totallini Disaster


Yesterday for dinner, we were having a Tortellini with a Vodka Tomato sauce, or at least that's what we were supposed to be having. We had grain alcohol cause my mom is a winemaker, and she was fortifying some port. Apparently, she needed it to be stronger, but she didn't want to change the flavor by putting moderate amounts of vodka in, so she used small amounts of grain alcohol. During the process of making this vodka dish, my dad accidentally mistook a bottle of a Russian grain alcohol called Volkov for vodka, and put the required amount into the sauce. As you can imagine, the dish had a fiery and bitter taste to it, and so, thinking it would be unsafe for me and my 10 year old brother, my dad reheated some Green Chile Mac & Cheese. What. A. Night.
