Half Full by Maria Scrivan for March 16, 2022

I package bulk into individual portions to freeze and write the directions on the bags so that I know what it is, date and how to prepare it. The small bags go into the original or a grocery plastic bag so that they are all in one bag.

Shouldn’t her package be right on top?

I always forget by the time wood gets burning and the cauldron starts to boil.

Will she ever be able to just remember the directions? Bring water to a boil. Add Contents. Stir occasionally. Cook to desired thickness.

There it is! Campbells Eye of Newt Soup.

“Eye of Newt Helper”?

No need – I have it memorized: Boil pasta in lightly salted water for 7 minutes. Drain, stir in packet of powdered cheese, 1/4 cup milk and 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter. She is making macaroni and cheese, right?

I can bet she forgot to add the canary lips and bees knees.

Heat & serve, difficult to remember…………..

I can relate having done that many times. Was it 35 minutes at 400° or 40 minutes at 350°????

nope

I follow a simple recipe: if it’s smokin’, it’s cookin’. If it’s black, it’s done.

The cauldron is bubbling. Not per instructions.

I like her socks.

I put each item into an individual baggy, put all the baggies into one large baggie, along with the name & instructions cut from the side of the box or package. Takes about 7 minutes.

She’s not the only one thinking about this. https://www.gocomics.com/aunty-acid/2022/03/22?ct=v&cti=164337
