Welcome to this week’s edition of Open Post.
If you’re new to this, Open Post is a weekly tradition here at Mamamia where our writers and readers get together to discuss what’s going on in their lives.
I’ll kick things off.
Over the weekend, I had my sister visit Sydney and stay with me.
It was a long-overdue catch-up, and I was excited to see her. I had a long list of things we were going to do over the weekend, including lots of shopping, eating and drinking.
Naturally, I was then hit with a cold so nasty I was basically bed-ridden for the entire weekend.
I was so sick that going out for dinner was out of the question, so we hit up my nearest Coles for something quick and easy.
In my haze of sickness, I grabbed some Latina Fresh Gluten Free Beef Ravioli and sauce, pretty much without thinking.
Now, I should point out that I’ve always secretly rolled my eyes at people who ate gluten free food when they weren’t allergic or intolerant to it.
I mean, why CHOOSE to eat food that tastes like cardboard if you don’t need to, right? (Of course, I’d never actually tried gluten-free food, but that didn’t stop me from judging the hell out of it, obviously).
So, while we were cooking it, I didn’t have high expectations. But you guys, it was really good. Really, REALLY good.
Hand on heart, it tasted just like normal pasta. And I eat a LOT of pasta, so this is a big deal.
The best part? It took all of 10 minutes to prepare.
