Cooking with Ashlee

Because I love my sister, Ashlee, so much, I've decided to make fun of her in another post dedicate another post to her.


Here are a few tips Ashlee invented to help you with your cooking:



TIP #1
 How to change up your pasta.

When we were younger, Ashlee and I were put to making spaghetti once. I have no clue where my mind was, but when it came time to actually make it, I realized I hadn't listened to word my mom said when she explained the "difficult" process. Luckily for me, Ashlee had listened.

First you add the pasta...


...then lots of oil...


...and just a few sprinkles of water.


Needless to say, that was NOT the correct way to make spaghetti. We ended up frying at least four packages until my dad came home and salvaged what was left.




TIP #2
How to "accidentally" get more of what you want.

Ashlee once attempted to make brownies for some kind of event, and decided that she needed to double the recipe.


 





However, she had trouble doubling the measurements, and ended up quadrupling the rest of the recipe.



TIP #3
How to skip steps to save time.

During Christmas time, there are lots of sweets made at my house. One year, Ashlee was in charge of making the sugar cookies. Though...


...not only did she toss the cookies in...


...when it came time to put the sugar on top...



...instead of taking the cookies out to sprinkle on the sugar, she just tossed the sugar in, too.
