A Truly Horrific Dinner

I'm not a great cook. I have some "safe" recipes that I take to sick folk that I know won't make them sicker. But I've never had a complete failure in the kitchen.

Until today...


This is what happens when you write down 13 instead of 30. Can you see the two beautiful Roma tomatoes in there? How about the multi-colored ravioli? I was supposed to add seven ounces of pesto to 30 ounces of ravioli. Umm....for future reference there is such a thing as too much pesto. And this is exactly what it looks like.

Mt. Dew and Macaroni for dinner. Yum. At least I'm guaranteed the kids will eat all their food. Gavin will probably lick his clean.

However, this is an interesting item. and #2: What ever the case you have always made lemonade out of lemons..now as for the pesto, you will never forget this incident...Is there something called pestoade? (ha). I am releaved that you have made one mistake in your life. Luv ya!
