Sneaky Spinach

Well, it's the week before finals, and all through the house, Amanda is stressed out. But a week from now and I'll be done. FREE.

Tonight I made this pasta dish which the package claimed had "carrots and broccoli," which sounded awesome to me. So I'm cooking it up and I start to notice that it has these green, leafy things inside, which don't look at all like broccoli to me. So I read the back of the package and there, in fine print, I read "in addition to broccoli and carrots, this dish also contains spinach!" WHAT?? Why didn't they warn me on the front? Spinach isn't even in the picture on the front!! I felt deceived, like I had been tricked into eating spinach!! Oh my goodness, nothing is sacred.

Tomorrow is the last day of my internship at Sindecuse, and I'm feeling pretty sad about that. :(

But... maybe someone will bring cake. :D

Really though, by the time I realized there was spinach... I had reached the point of no return in the cooking process. -_-

It was still pretty good though. I just couldn't look at it when I took a bite.

Ugh! I can't eat cooked spinach. Fresh is good as a salad, especially when drowned in a raspberry vinaigrette, but cooked it's...ewwwwww.

I feel your pain. :\

Yeah, seriously. Whoever came up with spinach should just go back where they came from.
