Unfortunately for us, none of us were able to follow the directions. The obvious flaw in our direction reading was not reading the entire thing before cooking the food.
Here is what the directions say :
"While pasta is boiling, combine tomatoes and next 5 ingredients." We all assumed that that meant to combine the ingredients to the boiling water. How wrong we were. If we had kept reading before adding everything to the boiling noodles, we would have realized our mistake. Just a few lines down it says:
"Drain pasta, and place in a large bowl. Top with tomato mixture and sprinkle with olives and cheese."
But, the damage was already done! We couldn't very well take all of the ingredients out! Anyway, we had quite the laugh about our mistake. It was hilarious! And the even funnier thing is....it turned out FABULOUS anyway! All in all, we ended up with a brand new recipe: Pasta Soup!
that is hilarious. also, does Jenna live in Springfield? I feel really out of the loop and am starting to suspect that Jenna was a figment of my imagination.
ReplyDeleteAwww! No, she lives in Bloomington. But we all try to get together once a week for "small group". It hasn't really happened a lot lately because....well life gets in the way sometimes.
ReplyDeleteNo, she wasn't a figment of your imagination! She's real! A real life missionary!
