See, I was out shopping for edibles and I was like, "I'm gonna make something good, that actually counts as cooking, and has something besides carbs in it." So I sashayed down the World Foods aisle, and stumbled across this gem.
"Aha," thought I, "that seems like a good idea. Now I need meat." And so I found meat--diced beef, to be precise, and I also picked up some rice to go with my beef curry concoction.
Fast forward to Tuesday night and it is time to eat. I was in a good mood; my classes had gone well and I had the next day off. A cooking adventure seemed appropriate.
I timed everything out! Boil the rice as I brown the beef, then add the sauce and cover the rice and let them simmer for--conveniently--15 minutes.
It was terrifying.
I probably put in too much oil and I wasn't sure if the rice was doing okay, but I kept going, and lo! Food.
The beef was a little tough, but overall quite satisfactory. And I suppose the three jalapenos on the bottle should have warned me, but it was spicy. Very much so.
Probably made too much rice. But! There are leftovers! I have secured at least one more semi-nutritious meal for my near future.
I feel very accomplished.
I've had at least two more adventures that I'll eventually write up, I promise, and also a new goal. Stay tuned.
How exciting! And leftovers to boot! That's cooking. You'll have to make it for us someday. Good job.
