Doh!

I'm making dinner tonight (Stuffed Baked Shells) and I made the mistake of continuing to listen to my iPod while making a recipe I've never tried before. First, I forgot to put the tofu in the shell stuffing. Then I forgot to actually cook the shells before stuffing them. I kept thinking, "Damn! It's really hard to stuff these shells. There must be some sort of secret I don't know about." About 3/4 of the way through the baking time something made me recheck the recipe and sure enough, I see that I should have cooked the shells first. I improvised and left it in the oven to cook, whipped up some linguine, and then used the sauce on the linguine and tossed the stuffed shells. Shockingly, despite my two errors, it was really good and I'll try it again with the stuffed shells done right this time!

I also gave into temptation and made vanilla pudding from scratch. Again, I missed some key points to the recipe as I was making it while watching House, but it still turned out pretty good.
