The other day I had some chicken manicotti, which I found a bit un satisfying as it was just chicken and mozzarella cheese slipped into a manicotti/cannelloni tube. So I thought to myself, "Self how do we make this more interesting? Read more " Do you refer to yourself as self? I find it better then referring to myself as Mark. you know "Mark thinks this or Mark thinks that" Because people would think I need a room with a nice soft floor and nice soft bars on the windows. Getting back to my original thought, well maybe not too original but it was mine. That is why I have the tin foil hats so that they can't put ideas into my head. Just who are they you might ask? Well don't ask out loud or they might find you. I have jury duty coming up, think I'll get called? This is the recipe I came up with, it is simple, fast, tasty and helped silence the inner voices.
