Ah, yes, you knew it had to come back out of hiding sooner or later! Some nights, the best we can muster is ramen with Rotel, and we don’t mind a bit.
Truth be told, had I planned tonight better I could have made a more labor-intensive meal, but how was I to know we’d have a schedule change at the last minute? We were supposed to babysit our friends’ kiddos this evening – which would have been a treat! – but their plans changed, so we were given a free pass. Our planned dinner, though, which was designed with a speedy transition in mind, has remained the same, since the only other meals on the docket this week require the slow cooker. :) (But give us time – we may switch that up too!)
And so ramen with Rotel it is, with a tossed salad to give us some greenery in our lives. I broke up a block of ramen noodles (sans seasoning) and tossed in a can of Rotel, then added another can of water. Cook in the microwave for six minutes, then pull out, stir, and add a pat of butter while the two Boca chik’n patties take their turn in the hot seat. Toss a salad and you’re off to the races! Easy as pie – or, um ramen.
I can think of worse ways to slack off in the kitchen! And this gives us extra time to while away the evening hours. Not a bad plan, indeed.
