Long-Distance Rag Amanda Messes Up in the Kitchen

"Not everything may go perfectly, and that's okay!" is Amanda's motto going into this Long-Distance Rag in the newest Amanda Messes Up episode, and honestly, same. This dish is a labor of love because it spends hours on the stove, though all the real work is done in the first 45 minutes. If you require some serious comfort food, this one's for you.
