thistlechaserI've made this twice now, and so I can really recommend this as a great tasting, easy meal to make. Prego pasta bake sauce: Just use the jar of sauce, an equal amount of water, and *uncooked* pasta. Throw it all together in a pan, stick it in the oven for 30 minutes, then take it out and cover it with shredded cheese, and bake for 10 more minutes. All done! You get a really nice baked ziti-type dish (though you can use other pastas than ziti. I think it recommends shells as well? Check the bottle). If you buy a bag of that pre-shredded cheese, this is especially easy. Almost no work, almost no cleanup, and it comes out yummy as heck. What more could you want?
(Wow, I don't think I ever rec'ed a food product in my LJ before... But really, this one deserves it. If you can't or don't like to cook, this is such a great thing. It's like getting a homemade meal with none of the work!)

A couple people have asked me to post my opinion on Witch Hunter Robin once I started watching it, so here we go. I'm far from done with the series (just watched the third ep, out of twenty-six total), but here are my thoughts so far:
During the first ep, I was really worried how Wolf's Rain-ish this felt. Same animation style, the music seemed familiar, and the plot was that same wandering... eh, mess. :} After watching it I hunted down some reviews; if this was a piece of crap, I didn't want to waste the time on it that I had on Wolf's Rain... but everything I read said it was the best thing ever, so I continued.
Ep 2 still didn't hook me, but it wasn't bad. Though the animation, voices, and music were Wolf's Rain-ish, I never said anything but good things about those things in Wolf's Rain, so that's good. I was still "meh" at the end of the ep, but eating lunch helped a lot. :p
Ep 3 grabbed me and clamped down and wouldn't let go. The characters are starting to get fleshed out, and the one with the first real backstory really grabbed me: Michael. Collared Michael. Mmm. I wonder if the boss *literally* collared him, or if he wears it because he's symbolically collared? Either way: MMMMMM. Nothing like a cute boy in a collar, especially against his will. And that he can't even leave the building without permission! Mmm, yes please! Hee.
So I'm going to keep watching more of it today. I have a ton of movies queued up to watch (four Studio Ghibli ones: Castle in the Sky, Ocean Waves (I Can Hear the Sea), Pom Poko, Whisper of the Heart, and the last LotR movie), but they can wait until I get more Witch Hunter.

Oh, and I signed up for Netflix, since they were doing a free month special. They had almost nothing that I wanted to see/couldn't download, but finally I found an anime series that I wanted to see but couldn't find online (Record of the Lodoss(sp?) War), so I ordered that. Once I see it, I'll cancel my membership and that'll be that.
