I've been working silly hours since my schedule changed a couple months ago.....i like my schedule for the winter months.....but the one thing it really doesn't work well with me is the fact that i don't really have great hours to cook. I like to make dinner fresh because for the most part, leftovers aren't really appealing to me (unless it's take-out chinese food, lasagna, chili, enchiladas, soup and maybe a few more things i can't really think of right now because i'm so full!)
Tonight i got wicked hungry after a 5-hour catch-up nap, i had no energy to attend any superbowl parties and the one party i totally wanted to go to i would have had to drive 3 hours roundtrip.....and sitting hasn't been the most enjoyable thing for me since the whole falling on my ass incident....So in my heightened state of hunger i thought take-out was a great option, but nothing really was appealing to me and i didn't feel like finding socks to put on sneaks and venturing in my cold car.....and i'm kinda cranky because i really wanted to eat mustard horseradish chicken wings.
Instead of those delicious pieces of unsatisfactory meat, i decided to look in the old fridge to see what was edible. Not much. There was just a lot of randomness, leftover-ish items accumulated from the past week or so and i just wanted something amazing. I gathered a pile of random fridge ingredients, threw it into a pan and apparently created some magical concoction of pasta, chicken, 3 veggies, 2 spices, 3 cheeses, and then i randomly decided to add some old cream to make it all thick and savory. I've never made a cream sauce and of course never on a whim. Beginner's luck.
I wish i could have shared it with everyone. I've learned it's really difficult to cook for one. It's kind of impractical. I haven't quite mastered cooking for one, but i think i'm pretty good at cooking for 1& a half or over 6.
