Waiting for June
Lifestyle and Daily Shenanigans with a dash of Nerd Appreciation thrown in.

For today's post, I decided to do something that I've wanted to do for a while and revive an old post of mine. Now, if you didn't already know...I've been blogging for technically 2 years. My original blog can be found here or here. Initially, I was excited about blogging, but Monochromatics died extremely quickly for me because as much as I love makeup and cosmetics...I just couldn't support myself enough to be a beauty blogger, plus I have way too many interests to just blog about one thing. So Monochromatics was a sham. A year, to the day exactly, this blog was started. And I'm by far, much more comfortable here. However, I'll never delete Monochromatics on either Tumblr or Blogger, so it's always there for people to see if they wish to look.

However, that's not the point of this post. Even though, my blogging birthday technically passed...we'll venture away from that. Since I posted a recipe yesterday, I thought I'd bring back the first and only recipe I posted on one of my blogs. Last year for Thanksgiving, I spent it with my wife, otto, and while there, I ended up cooking (of course she helped out.) The full, original post can be found here...but I am going to repost it to this blog to join yesterday's post.

So enjoy and ignore the rambling in the directions. ♥

Arbor Mist: Mixed Berry Pinot Noir, Sangria Zinfandel, and Peach Chardonnay ; Bartles & Jaymes: Fuzzy Navel


On Monday evening, my mum and I made our way to our fancy local Walmart and picked up some groceries. Of course since it was New Years Eve, my mum decided to lovely and indulge in picking up some alcohol. We both prefer the taste of Arbor Mist (and I would have preferred homemade wine) and I like anything that's sweet, so we picked up a couple bottles of Arbor Mist and B&J's Malt Coolers in Fuzzy Navel to appeal to both of our tastes. Obviously, I kept the Fuzzy Navels for myself and I couldn't wait until we got home before I pulled out a bottle. So I had one on the way home. It's delicious, seriously. Ugh, so good.

Anyway, I went to Walmart with the intentions of picking up some stuff so that I could cook on Tuesday. I knew I definitely wanted to make a pasta dish, so I definitely went with that in mind. Me being me, I always seem to get distracted when I'm picking up groceries because I'm never quite sure what I want to make fully. While I ended up picking up some Wel-Pac Chow Mein Stir Fry Noodles, I also ended up picking up some a block of melting cheese, Chicken Stock, Seafood Flavour Booster, Soy Sauce (I like using it my ramen) and a bottle of Teriyaki stir-fry sauce.

By the time Tuesday rolled around, I genuinely did not what the heck I was going to make as I sat there staring all the things I had bought. What the hell can I make with Cheese, Soy Sauce, and Teriyaki Sauce and actually make it taste somewhat decent? Nothing. Nothing at all. But I assure you...I was wrong.

So to ring in the New Year right, I bring you a recipe. For now, I think I'll call it Accidental Pasta With A Chicken & Cheese Sauce...which is really what it is. Keep reading to get the recipe and all that good stuff.
