Day 5:

Last night's dinner had some successful aspects, and some...not so successful parts.  I decided to try a "Soup in a Jar" dinner that my aunt had given me 10 years ago as a house-warming gift.  It was so darn cute that I couldn't bear to use it before, but decided that the time had come. 

 I have a leeeeettle trouble with directions though, in that I forget to read them (or often disregard them with a shrug), and just dumped the whole thing into my InstantPot.  Not my wisest move.  Apparently, I was supposed to leave the noodles out until close to the end.  That MAY have contributed to the very interesting texture of the final product.  However, it tasted okay.  What?  How do I, as a gluten-free individual, know this personally?  That would be because I completely forgot that it had noodles in it (I told you the texture was weird), and downed a bowl before it had occurred to me.  This is after I went to great lengths to make sure the cornbread side was gluten-free.  Alas.
