Darn! We had plenty! Are you stuck in the snow?

This was really good, by the way! I cooked it about 4 minutes longer than called for because the noodles didn't seem done. It was perfect!

Yeah, DH called off today after he witnessed the garbage truck sliding into our yard this morning...that was all he needed to stay home!
I made the penne chicken on Monday and I loved it...
