Polar Bear Pail of Pasta!

Frozen microwave meals will most likely never be our favorite way to dine! However, I have discovered on line how to microwave pasta! Now having said that, remember the instruction used items and conveniences you have at home, not in a hotel room! We do not have a colander or Even a bowl that big! So give me a minute to tell you the story!
Earlier when Shawn and I went for our walk, we came across $2 in a parking lot! We decided then to use it to purchase some Ibuprofen, have to manage the stress headaches! Any ways it nears the time I start thinking about dinner and I really want spaghetti and meatballs! We had a package of turkey meatballs in the fridge, fresh not frozen! Yes, they were precooked but whatever! We had been given a pound of spaghetti and a gigantic jar of sauce!! I find out how to cook pasta in the microwave online. Kate Lynn and I head out to the Dollar Tree to purchase a bowl and Ibuprofen! Only they do not have a bowl, so we buy a Christmas pail! Figured the handle would be great for moving it when it was hot and the lid would enable me to drain the water! Again we have no colander! The instructions also called for using boiling water, not wanting to take the time to boil the water in the microwave and then cook the pasta (wouldn't it have just made sense to cook it on the stove!) This is what I did...
Make sure the coffee pot is full  (it's a single serve!)
break pasta in half into Christmas pail (it's blue with dancing Polar Bears, so Pasta in a Polar Bear Pail!)
place pail under the dripper on the coffee maker, press button for large mug (repeat 3 X's)
make sure pasta is covered with water
microwave for 6  minutes, stir with fork every 2 minutes
you will have to replace the fork every couple of minutes if you use a plastic one!!!
pull the pail out by the handle, using a hand towel hold the lid on and drain
add sauce, mix well
add meatballs and additional sauce
cook for additional 2 minutes, it will be a little starchy! But, otherwise pretty tasty!
Serve with presliced Italian bread, no margarine, the fridge is too small to store it!
Now, please I know how tempted you all are to try this, remember I started this first, patent pending! We found a couple candles in our Christmas decorations, so we lit them placed them safely by the tree. Dinner by  candle light!
