For my lunch today, I’m having a nice garden salad and a thing of Our Compliments Low in Fat Cantonese Noodles Instant Pasta. The preparation directions read, and I quote:
Using Boiling Water: Pull lid back halfway. Add boiling water to 3/4 in. (2 cm) from top of cup. Stir well. Recover with lid and let stand 9 min. Stir well. Microwave (900 watts): Pull lid back halfway. Add water to 3/4 in. (2 cm) from top of cup. Stir well. Cook on high (100% power) for 1-2 min. or until water comes to a boil. Stir again. Recover with lid and let stand 9 min. Stir well. Since microwave ovens vary in power, these instructions are guidelines only.
“Let stand 9 minutes”?? NINE MINUTES??? What part of “INSTANT PASTA” did they not understand??
Oh, and there’s 2 centimetres of snow on the ground today.
