Okay, I have a friend who is going to need surgery to take her gall bladder out, and I thought it would be nice to send her a get well card, and one of those "chicken soup in a jar" things (where you basically have all the ingredients you need in a nice jar, so that they just have to add water and chicken).
I got all the ingredients I need, but they didn't have proper jars at the store. So, improvising, I got some of those Ziploc "Twist 'n Loc" containers - they're microwavable and freezable, so I thought maybe they could store extra soup in there too.
What I didn't realize is that the recipe was made to fit in a jar holds approx. 2 cups, while the containers I have hold around 4 cups.
So what I'm looking for is suggestions on how I can fill the extra 2 cups so that everything doesn't get shaken up and unpretty
during mailing. Noodles are included in the mix, but I think adding another two cups of noodles would be too much, wouldn't it?
Or should I just go back out and buy jars of the proper size at another store? I'd really rather not go back out tonight, and I'd really like to send it out by tomorrow! Sending it out tomorrow is preferable to other options though.
Hoping some of you creative cat lovers out there can help me with a solution! Thanks!
