I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

Is there...uncondensed soup in it, or no soup at all??

I am rebelling a little bit by not saying "please let me know if you have any questions". I don't want to know! I don't have answers!

Love that.

So, the casserole is good. I admit I prefer the condensed soup/evaporated milk, heavily buttered and cheesed bread cubes version. What can I say? But this is good, and it has peas and fresh mushrooms, so... vegetables! As it is, I have to GF the original recipe, but I honestly can't tell much difference, so... I'm good on all tuna noodle casserole fronts, I think.

No soup at all. Milk, mayo, flour (except I use cornstarch slurry, because GF), butter-fried mushrooms, frozen peas make up the guts. Well, plus (rice) noodles. Topping is buttered (GF) bread crumbs. Uh, I added cheese, too.

Yeah, fancy versions of comfort foods rarely taste better than the original, somehow. Although my friend who made me my first tuna noodle casserole in college (mom didn't like it, so she never made it, so I hadn't had it) made a white sauce instead of using cream of mushroom soup because that's how her family did it

Exactly. Someone did a fancified green bean casserole at Thanksgiving one year. Ha, ha, ha... no. There was 100% concurrence on that one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am rebelling a little bit by not saying "please let me know if you have any questions". I don't want to know! I don't have answers!

That is definitely the move.

Our wings are not tired.

It is casserole night at the Holts tonight. This one is a quinoa/chicken/broccoli with enchiladas sauce variety. DH can add cheese if he wants but it is off my list.

Yep, she's a rebel. Go -t!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

It's been one of those days. The nanny/aide had a doctor's appointment this morning, so we had to handle Zoom school on our own. Started out fine, but by the reading class Mr. S was behaving badly. I didn't handle it very well.(It probably didn't help that the first dose of Adderall was starting to wear off by then.)

I don't know about Austin, but here in San Antonio the city keeps up a series of pop-up locations for testing. No charge or appointment, just first come, first serve.

Heh. Just got an email saying don't send that letter yet it didn't save correctly. Oh well. But I hope that means the actual letter will make more sense...
