  2. It's almost 8:00. I feel it's too late to make these tonight, especially because I just had pasta...and the rest of Owen's. I also might have eaten some out of the pan I cooked it in. Tomorrow night...we are having this.

  3. They are similar to the recipe you posted but I used what we had on hand and voila! I am getting better about experimenting and seeing what happens.
