On making pasta

Next up, a sloppily drawn representation of the most disappointing way to begin your lunch (alternately, what happens when I make pasta/how to avoid it):

Step 1) Decide on pasta as a suitable lunch for the day. This is never a bad choice. Pasta is delicious and will make people like you. I recommend Annie's pasta (preferably the one in the purple box).

Step 2) Boil water, put pasta in water, wait for pasta to cook. Try not to make a mess. It's not that hard.

Step 3) Next, prepare to make the sauce. Pasta without sauce is like Charlie Sheen without the drugs. It might be good, but nobody knows, or really wants to find out.

Step 4) Annie's pasta has about the simplest sauce ever. There are 3 ingredients, one of which is included in the box. The other two are definitely in your fridge. GO FORTH AND MAKE THAT SAUCE.

Step 5) And this, young pasta makers, is where it goes wrong. TOO MUCH MILK.

Step 6) LUNCH IS RUINED. You suddenly find yourself ingesting a milky, cheese colored ocean, complete with little pasta boats and a buttery iceberg. Really, all that's missing are the little people clinging to their pasta arks, praying for someone to save them from this milky flood.

And that, my friends, is how I end up ruining my delicious Annie's pasta. Repeatedly.


It's all in the milk.
