example - 2 nights ago, i tell her to make some stew. now last time, she put noodles in like 2 hours before it was ready, and it was a big mushball.
so i tell her to cook meat/veggies/water/buillon cubes in crock pot, then cook egg noodles seperate, and add when i get home. she cooks the noodles, then takes them out and DRAINS them. once again, resulting in a big stew of mushy noodles. tried to salvage it and add some more water/buillon cubes, but the noodles were still super mushy. bleh.
