One of these things is not like the other

Dinner 1:

1) Boil water & cook pasta
2) Microwave leftover peas to warm them up
3) Microwave pasta sauce (jar)
4) Drain pasta, dump in bowl. Cover in peas. Cover pasta&peas with sauce.
5) Eat


Dinner 2:

Cooked some bow tie pasta. Melted some butter. Sauteed fresh garlic. Dumped in some flour. Made a "roux". Added milk. Stirred every now and then. Thawed some spinach and mixed pepper strips. (Very colorful) Mixed with pasta. Dumped in casserole dish. Poured cream sauce on top. Dotted with parmesan cheese. Baked, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Then eat. Mmmmmmmm. Easy, colorful, (I like the red, yellow and green stuff!) and super delicious.

Those who know me will be able to guess that dinner #1 was the one prepared at my house. Dinner #2 was the one my sister made for herself and then e-mailed me about.

If we lived closer, I'd be eating at her place :-)

It's funny--my dad learned to cook when in his 50s and loved it, my sister and brother both love cooking, but it completely skipped over me. I'm just as happy to make a few simple meals and not branch out.
