Sad, sad day ...

Rene and I were very taken with Nigella's recipe on Mushroom Pasta Bake and decided to try it without the baking portion, since we don't have an oven here.

Anyhow, I was chopping and she was the mushroom prep chick. Everything on her end with the cooking went fantastic. We replaced sherry with red wine. Everything tasted awesome. I thought I'd try the cream sauce as I've never made it before.

Disaster.

Too much flour.

Tasted like shit.

Whole meal went to smithereens.

Everyone was being nice about it.

I feel like shit about it.

Failed.

I've failed Nigella.

:(

Ha ha.
