A Little Quick On The Noodle Trigger


This is why I serve frozen, canned and take out for meals. I tried to make Cat's chicken noodle soup since Ashley isn't feeling well today and when I poured in the amount of noodles that she told me to, I thought they looked awfully small and that it couldn't possibly be enough. So I poured in the other half of the box and then because that wasn't bad enough, I poured in half a box of elbow macaroni from my pantry and ended up with this. Way too much pasta in my chicken soup. Maybe next time I'll get it right. Now if only I had three more packages of chicken thighs to even out the pasta.

LOL...that's why you are supposed to "follow the directions"! Pasta swells in the water :)

It was pretty disgusting. We had to add chicken broth granules and then I ended up dumping more than half a pot down the disposal. Bret passed on it and opted for a TV dinner.

It's also not a good thing when you make your sick daughter homemade chicken noodle soup and she feels worse after she eats it.

She burned the muffins though. Like mother like daughter, I guess.
