food crime night part two
Today was a bit rough. Went to do my drug test after only getting like, an hour of sleep last night. Just keep getting stressed out about how rapidly my atart date is approaching.
I spent most of the night marking cards in my cube that I want to swap oit with new cards, cause there's a lot of cards that have only stayed in cause I'm used to them, but they just never make the cut in my test drafts.
So after getting no sleep and my partner having to drive me to the drug test cause her car is the only one that can reliably get around in this snow, we start making our way home and her car starts overheating on the highway. So we spent like an hour sitting at a gas station waiting for a tow truck, and now I'm extra stressed about next week. I'll survive but I just need it to be known how much I hate winter and how awful this january has been.
So after sleeping all day I got up and decided it was time for my hot cheeto mac and cheese bake rematch. This time, with hindsight and a bit more experimentation it came out much better! I used more heavy cream, tossed it in for an extra 10 minutes after the pasta on top struggles to cook enough, and I remembered to actually cover it in foil this time.
It's significantly more filling than I expected, though I did add a bit of chicken. Now that I'm done with this experiment I can say that I probably wouldn't make it again, but I feel much more prepared to make an actual good pasta bake in the future! Maybe I'll save it if I need to bring a cursed meal to a pitch in.
