First day of the semester, dinner disasters


School started today, and since I had to get up early to do some last minute schedule changes, I've been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off all day. The two classes I had today seem fun and interesting. The first class should be interesting simply because the main book is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The second class features a teacher that reminds me of Ellen DeGeneres, which is pretty hilarious. Both of these are English classes so I should be reading a LOT this semester.

And the butcher's bill on books this semester? $465... Publishing companies love to f*ck over our country's student population.

Gripes aside, due to the chicken-lacking-head-dance I performed most of the day, I forgot to get milk until I got home, and my first idea for a quick meal quickly went south. So... I packaged up the ingredients in a ziplock bag and that will just have to wait for another day. I already had water boiling though, so I just tossed in some Ronzoni whole wheat rotini (no HFCS in this whole wheat) and put some Classico sauce on it. Then, for flavor, since the pasta itself was actually lacking any, I topped it off with some crumbled feta.
I'm really disappointed in the rotini, especially since I have a whole new box to look forward to cooking with.
I'm thinking hot sauce...
"Hot sauce on pasta?" you ask?
Yes, it's THAT bland, I can't think of anything pasta-y with enough flavor to overcome the aggressive blandness of this rotini. It's gross. Don't buy it.

'Til next time, get plenty of sleep (unlike me) and eat well!
