proof that I can cook, too! sort of.

Becca, Kate, and I tried to make pad thai the other day… it turned out reasonably successful (aka tasty and edible) however, I had to avert imminent disaster since we subbed curry paste in place of tamarind paste (don’t ask), which resulted in an inedibly spicy dish.

Cue washing the noodles off 4 times. Following by cooking up the rest of the noodles.

Martha Stewart would be proud.

The recipe was also terribly worded and confusing. It advised cooking the noodles in a the wet ingredients. Which there were not enough of to finish cooking the noodles. Cue dumping in the rest of the vegetable broth + a lot more water.

I guess in real life, cooking is not as linear as on the Food Network. I may never achieve a state of Ina Garten zen.

But my noodles will at least edible.

I haven’t died yet.
