Who's Cooking Now?

...well me, sort of. I've never been a big fan of cooking preferring going out, being fed, or making something quick an easy. Over the years and did learn a few things like, boiling water and greasing a pan. From there I learned to make a few things:

Scrambled Eggs
Spagehetti with sausage
Salad
Crab Dip

I've tried a few other things but didn't make them enough to remember how to make them again. I've never really cared for cooking and as a result havn't had the motivation to do more.

In an attempt to get me to cook more my parents sent me "A Man, A Can, A Plan." I finally decided to pull it out, find something to make, get the ingrediants and put a meal together.

I chose some tostada looking thing made out of: canned chicken, refried beans, salsa, and a corn tortilla. Hit the grocery store and got the ingrediants and wipped them up in the evening. Overall pretty easy as all I had to do was toss the chicken, beans and salsa in a bowl and heat in the microwave. The tortillas had to be heated in the oven which set off the fire alarm.

In the end it was alright but I now have another reason why I don't like cooking. I have 10 corn tortilla and a bowl of this stuff left over. It was alright but I really have no desire to have it again for awhile.

So, I tried it and decided I just don't like to cook. I know there is some kind of wierd stereotype of romantic supermen who cook are the greatest, but fuck that. I'll stick with my salads and soups. I'm sure I'll try it again but I'm just not that into food.

Dude. A Man, A Can, A Plan Rocks.

I've made the Cowboy Stew, the Bombay Chicken 'n' Rice and the '50s-Style Creamed Chicken.

I'm so freakin lazy.

Okay, did you REALLY set off the fire alarm heating tortillas?

Romantic supermen who play role playing games are the greatest. Please try and keep up.

(This just makes my efforts in the kitchen look that much better - yay!)

Yes, I did set the fire alarm off. Not so much from cooking tortilla but by simply turning the oven on. Which is the first time I've used the oven since I moved in. Later I discovered there is a fan on the stove that I beleive prevents this. If I use it again I'll have to try it.

Let's here for roleplaying supermen!!!!
