Our roof started leaking in November. Unfortunately the workers who fix such leaks were booked up until January. Luckily January was a dry month and the roofers were able to take care of the side of the roof that had cracked tiles. Unluckily the rain had penetrated through the ceiling in a couple of rooms leaving unsightly cracks and bubbles. This week we were able to get workers who could repair our ceilings. Since one of those ceilings was in the kitchen we did not do much cooking on Wednesday and Thursday. With our limited ability to use the kitchen, here is what we ate,
We went out for pho. Since our favorite place was closed for Lunar New Year we tried a different restaurant. It was fine but not as good as our fav pictured below.
On Thursday the ceiling was finished by 6PM but since we thought it was going to take longer we were not prepared for making anything elaborate. We settled on our second tray of Rao’s eggplant Parmesan. Our first tray had been plagued with soggy breading so we made the second without its plastic film, took it out of its plastic tray to a glass dish, and cooked it in the oven. For the first 45 minutes it was covered with aluminum foil and then we took it off for the last 15 minutes. Since it was not done we raised the temperature to 400F and cooked it for another 15 minutes. Ultimately we added more sauce and stuck it in microwave. Bottom line? We are not buying it again.
