No pasta for Holly...

I have been dupped by microwavable food. There was this pasta concoction in our refridgerator and it looked reasonably good so I grabbed it. There was chicken in one thing and pasta in another but the instructions only addressed the chicken. I read the entire thing, all the directions but heck if anything was made clearer. It said the pasta should be made hot but there was no clue as to at what point during the cooking process this should take place or for how long, or what power. I finally just gave up and ate some leftovers, but I was surprised, to say the least, that precooked food could do this to me. I'm a bit disappointed in myself actually. There's a lot to be said, I've decided, to making things from scratch. At least then you don't quite feel like such a moron if it doesn't come together. C'est la vie, ou peut-etre, C'est ma vie!
