worst thanksgiving

The worst Thanksgiving dish you've ever had -- 642 Things to Write About

The ones I've made myself.  haha.  I try to cook; HGTV makes it seem so easy.  I have made KD with questionable additions and extra salty pasta.  Its just all bad but good at the same time.  I learned a lot from those not great experiences that I will share with you now.

KD is great for a student on a budget but it will ruin your stomach if you add things just because they are in your fridge.  Experimentation is encouraged, but do not attempt it if you are starving!  Stock your favourite instant noodles for experiments, it's easier to whip up another batch.

Salted water reaches a higher temperature which helps your pasta cook that much faster; however, there is one major caveat that chefs around the world keep saying, "add salt for seasoning."  Salt permeates your pasta from the water for an oh so salty treat!  Avoid over-salting.  Also, pepper is not to salt as acid is to base.  Suffice to say I ordered pizza that night.
