The Rice Diaries: Heat-&-Serve

Tonight for supper; I had the privilege of cooking for my Beau. Naturally I took the safe route and picked out all things fast and pre-made some where else. haha, can you guess how good it was???

First, I had a "heat-&-serve" garlic loaf. bake 10 min. open; then broil 10 min or less until crispy. ...











YUP; I burned it.

Then we had a (looked good on the bag - not on the plate) pasta salad, in which all I had to do was cook half the bag with 1/4 cup of water to a boil in a saucepan. I naturally ignored the instructions, when it said boil, i went to her with half a pot of water. then dumped out the extra water in a frenzy b/c it was too much. Dave mentioned all the seasoning went down the drain with the water i just poured out... So I improvised! a little oregano, a little summer savory, a little Italian salad dressing, a little Parisian cheese....



Yup; Soggy Surprise Salad and Super Crispy Bread! YUM!

And my Poor Beau only had this to say: Hunny; you are trying very hard, and I love you for it.
