And in full-on work mode. For the next seven months, I will do nothing but eat, sleep and probably drink casseroles. Fun, right? Right!
Before leaving for my European Adventure (which was amazing, by the way, thanks), I had a few friends over to celebrate my book deal. I learned a few things from this experience:
1. My kitchen is not equipped for making five casseroles at once.
Remember when I said I have everything I need in there? Ha. Believing this, I attempted, in two hours, to create five casseroles. Originally, they were all going to be unique, but about half an hour in, I had to give up and mass produce.
My friends were to arrive at 8, and I burst through the door at 6 , arms full of Fairway bags. At 6:20, after realizing that I only had one pot big enough to boil pasta, while said pasta was boiling, I did the dishes I’d let pile up the day before. Because the sink was not empty, I could not strain the pasta in time. And by the time the dishes were done, the pasta had overcooked just sitting in the pot of hot water. I had to shut down the whole operation and run to C-town for more Cavatelli.
2. Fairway does not carry French fried onions.
This does not please me.
