Here's Ryan & Corrine. I cooked for them today.
Just kidding... Apparently there are no existing pictures on the internet of these 2. Maybe they are in the Witness Protection Program. In that case, I cooked for Brian & Dorrine. :) Today's meal didn't start off as well as I'd hoped! I was planning to be over to Ryan & Corrine's between 12-1. HOWEVER, Tyler had a flag football game and I went & then we had to get super sweet pictures printed. Obvi! So I didn't end up getting there until around 2! OYE! The meal went well, UNTIL the sauce was supposed to thicken, and DIDN'T. After about 20 minutes trying to thicken it I gave up. I have no idea what the trick is. :( I hope that the meal was still delicious. I'll find out Monday at work from Ryan.
My Mom would be totes jelly if you tried this one:

6. Add the cooked penne pasta and toss to coat pasta.
Next time try adding flour to thicken the sauce, that usually works.
