When cooking optimism outstrips cooking ability

Wife asked me to make a salad for lunch, so stupidly, I used some initiative and decided to add to her plan of "a salad". So I added noodles. She's busy I figured, I'll "surprise her". Well, at least something went to plan.

In my mind I had this idea of a nice cold noodle salad, with a fine dressing. What arrived were supernoodles and badly cut vegetables.

However, my wife to much credit congratulated me on my food preparation skills and pretended she enjoyed her lunch.
