Four Cheese Florentine and other related matters

I would apologize for not having written in so long, but apologies are tiresome, so I will jump right in and not even try to recap my life for the past seven months.

Lately I have had less time to cook food from scratch--or perhaps I have just grown disgustingly lazy...very probable!--so I have been cooking things that come in bags and say things like "cook in bag in microwave" and "you can cook this and pretend it's natural even though it's not at all, but at least there's a picture of a farm on the front of it, and it's ready in thirty seconds" on the packaging. It's easy and it's all from Target, so it's a win-win for me, really.

Anyway, tonight I decided to cook something the nice green box called "Four Cheese Florentine." It looked very fancy and delicious...much better than macaroni and cheese from the blue and orange box with the dinosaur on the front. You're obviously a child or a loser if you eat THAT. This is super classy, though. And it's from Target...did I mention that? I love Target. Anway! So I started cooking it, added the cheese sauce, and it boiled up like crazy. I thought, "This couldn't possibly cook for another fourteen minutes without boiling over!" And then I looked at the directions, and they said to turn the heat down to a simmer. This is a lesson, I say firmly to myself. Always read directions.

So, yes, in answer to your frustrated queries at this point, I DID just write a blog post about....really, nothing at all. But I, my friends, am on Christmas break, and so I can write about nothing, because nothing is what I do, and I am thrilled with it.

Please tune in next time for another exciting installment!
