Pasta Roni

         I'm not sure how many of you out there have eaten Pasta Roni, but it is delicious. There are a variety of flavors. My favorite is the parmesan cheese flavor. It costs 98 cents a box. It is perfect for when you only have 5 dollars to your name. That was me last night, super poor and super hungry. It is really easy to make, even for an incompetent cook such as myself. I have made it several times in the past and it turned out great. Well last night, as I stated, I made some Pasta Roni. This time however I used a new pot. Typically I would use a non-stick pot. It was dirty though and laziness got the best of me. I didn't think this metal pot I was using would be any different. I was very wrong. I went about making the pasta as normal. You add water, milk, and butter and bring it to a boil. You add the pasta and seasoning and boil for about 5 minutes. Then you let it sit for about 5 minutes. Well I don't exactly know where it all went wrong along the way but by the time I was done it was obvious something didn't work out quite right. My Pasta Roni came out in the shape of the pot, after having to scrape the sides off the pot. My pot somehow got scorched. Seriously, how do you burn a pot? There are still brown burn marks on the pot, I could not fully get them off. It took me a whole 30-45 minutes to clean that stupid pot. Anyways at least it was still edible! I suppose that is all the really matters. Here's to hoping for better luck next time. I most certainly won't be using that pot next time, that's for sure.
