Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray a 9x13 baking dish with baking spray {I use my Misto}.In a large bag {I use a produce bag} crush up the whole sleeve of crackers into small pieces and season with the half teaspoon of kosher salt.In a shallow dish whisk together the two eggs and black pepper. Dip the chicken breast halves in one at a time coating both sides and drip any excess egg back into the dish.Add the coated chicken into the bag with the crushed crackers, shake to coat pressing the crackers into the chicken and then place on a large plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken until all of the chicken breast halves are coated.In a large 10 inch non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, work in batches adding two of the chicken breast halves at a time and cook for 3-4 minutes per side. Flip when you notice the edges of the chicken are a deep golden and cook for another 3-4 minutes. After each batch, remove to a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess oil and then arrange in the prepared 9x13 baking dish. Repeat with the remaining chicken.Once all of the chicken has been cooked, reduce the heat to medium and wipe the pan out with paper towel so only a trace of oil left in the pan. Squeeze in a couple cloves of garlic through a garlic press and cook for a minute or two. Slowly add in the two cans of tomato sauce and a half teaspoon of dried basil. Simmer for 8 minutes and drop in the two tablespoons of butter and stir. Pour 1/3 of the sauce over top of the chicken leaving pieces exposed. Evenly sprinkle with the Parmesan and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes.In the meantime, bring a pot of water to boil. Season with a generous pinch of kosher salt and add in the spaghetti noodles and cook as directed on the package. Drain and add to the remaining marinara, toss and heat on low to keep warm.After the 30 minutes, remove top with mozzarella slices and pop the pan back into the oven for 10-15 more minutes more until the cheese is melted and bubbly.Dish out spaghetti into bowls and top with the Parmesan chicken.Enjoy!

Food Joke

If you're going to regret this in the morning, we can sleep until the afternoon. All those curves, and me with no brakes. Do you know the difference between a hamburger and a blow job? No!? Wanna do lunch? Are your legs tired? You've been running through my mind all day long. Can I borrow a quarter? I want to call my mom and tell I just met the girl of my dreams. Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again? A woman asks, "Excuse me, do you have the time?" Man answers, "Yes, do you have the energy?" Can I have directions to your heart? Can I have your phone number? I seem to have lost mine. Do you want to see something really swell? Your hair is perfectly pH balanced. Do you have a quarter? My mother told me to call home when I met the girl of my dreams. Do you have a mirror in your pocket? 'Cause I could see myself in your pants. I'll cook you dinner if you cook me breakfast. Do you sleep on your stomach? Can I? Do you want to go out for a pizza and a screw? What, you don't like pizza? At the office copy machine "Reproducing eh?" "Can I help?" Ask: "Do you know what winks and screws like a tiger?" Wink. Ever tried those weird prickly condoms? I made you come with one finger, imagine what I could do with my whole hand. If I gave you a sexy negligee, would there be anything in it for me? Excuse me, do you want to screw, or should I apologize? Are you free tonight, or will it cost me? I think I could fall madly in bed with you. Forget that. Playing doctor is for kids. Let's play gynecologist. Hey baby, can I tickle your belly from the inside? Here's a quarter...call your roommate and tell her you won't be coming home tonight. Hey baby, let's go back to my place and get something straight between us. I hope you know CPR, cuz you take my breath away! Hi, do you know why you should masturbate with these two fingers? Because they're mine. How about you sit on my lap and we'll see what pops up? So... How am I doing? I go down on the first date, how about you? I have had a really bad day and it always makes me feel better to see a pretty girl smile. Would you smile for me? I like every bone in your body, especially mine. I looked up beautiful in the thesaurus today, and your name was there. I may not be Fred Flintstone, but I bet I can make your Bed Rock. Can I buy you a drink, or do you just want the money? I miss my teddy bear. Would you sleep with me? Do you like short love affairs? I hate them. I've got all weekend. There are 265 bones in the human body. How would you like one more? I think we must make love on the front lawn like crazed weasels. I want to melt in your mouth, not in your hand. I wish you were a Pony Carousel outside Wal-Mart, so I could ride you all day long for a quarter. I'm a bird watcher and I'm looking for a Big Breasted Bed Thrasher, have you seen one? I'm a necrophiliac, how good are you at playing dead? I'm like American Express; you don't want to leave home without me. I'm new in town, could I have directions to your house? If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together. If I told you that you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me? Excuse me, ma'am, is that dress felt? Would you like it to be? If you cut your arms off, you'd look just like Venus de Milo. If you were a car, I would wax you and ride you all over town. If you were a new hamburger at McDonald's, you would be McGorgeous. If your left leg was Thanksgiving and your right leg was Christmas, could I spend some time between the holidays? Inheriting eighty million bucks doesn't mean much when you have a weak heart. Is it hot in here or is it just you? Excuse me, miss, do you give head to strangers? No? Well, then, allow me to introduce myself. Is that a tic-tac in your pocket or are you just glad to see me? Is your daddy a thief? Then how did he steal the sparkle of the stars and put it in your eyes? Just call me milk; I'll do your body good. Let's go to my place and do the things I'll tell everyone we did anyway. Miss, if you've lost your virginity, can I have the box it came in? My love for you is like the Energizer bunny with its batteries in backwards: it keeps coming and coming. Hi, my name is . That's so you'll know what to scream. Nice dress, can I talk you out of it? Nice shoes. Want to screw? Oh, I'm sorry, I thought that was a Braille name tag. Pardon me, but what pickup line works best with you? Pull my finger. Roses are red, violets are blue, I like spaghetti, let's go screw. Screw me if I'm wrong, but don't you want to kiss me? Screw me if I'm wrong, but is your name Yolanda? That outfit would look great in a crumpled heap on my bedroom floor tomorrow morning. That shirt looks very becoming on you, but if I were on you, I'd be coming too. The fact that I'm missing my teeth just means that there's more room for your tongue. The first time is always the hardest. The word of the day is legs. Let's go back to my place and spread the word. Want to play carnival? That's where you sit on my face and I try to guess your weight. Was your dad a farmer? Cause you sure have great melons. Would you like Gin and platonic, or do you prefer Scotch and sofa? You don't want to dance? I guess a screw is out of the question. You know what would look good on you? Me. I'd really love to screw your brains out, but it appears someone beat me to it. Do you wash your panties with Windex? Because I can really see myself in them. You look like a girl that has heard every line in the book, so what's one more going to hurt? You might not be the best looking girl here, but beauty is only a light switch away. You must be from Pearl Harbor, cause baby you're the bomb. You must be Jamaican, because Jamaican me crazy. You must be jelly, cause jam don't shake like that. You've got the whitest teeth I've ever come across. Your body's name must be Visa, because it's everywhere I want to be. Your daddy must have been a baker, because you've got a nice set of buns. Your underwear must be made out of Windex, because I can see myself in them tonight.
