I'm getting better at cooking
I feel like a dork, but I really want someone to come to my house and walk in on me eating the meal I just made. It consists of sauteed mushrooms, onions, green and orange peppers, and spinach, mixed together with scrambled eggs. It is a healthy, attractively presented, and delicious meal.I am so grown up now, because I customarily use vegetables in my meals -- I no longer whine, "Why can't I just have pizza or a hamburger?" The next goal is to learn to use spices appropriately. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder were about it today.
Later this week I plan to make a variation on the meal that I christened "Monica's Pasta with Artichoke Hearts." She claims that it is not "a thing," because she just made it once, spontaneously. Yet now that I have made (what I consider to be) variations on it (though when I tell her about them, she denies that they have any relation to it) several times, I believe it is, de facto if not de jure, "a thing." If this goes through, I will post the recipe, as part of my endless quest to become the next Belle Waring.
