Wasn't that just a clump of soggy spaghetti?
No, this was the still-dry, uncooked stuff. I'd gone to take some out to cook it, and the space thus created revealed Cthulhu, scowling up at me with his cross little face. You've no idea how much malevolence can emanate from something so small.
It was probably his resemblance to spaghetti that enabled him to hide there, though
A quick Google images search for "cthulhu food" turns up some, er, interesting results (oh, that and that someone has nicked my HP sauce joke ...)
