Living alone means no one judging me while I prepare dinner. This has resulted in several cooking catastrophes, including my repeated attempts to caramelize onions that usually just end up making me sick to my stomach. But recently I bought a (relatively cheap) stew/casserole thing specifically to make one dish, and this has brought out some kitchen creativity in me. A summery:
Friday night's poulet au cidre/chicken with cider: HUGE SUCCESS! Deliciousssssss
Sunday night's sushi: need to cook that rice better. Apparently not everything in that casserole ends up tasting like heaven.
Tonight (Tuesday night)'s...shallot/lardon/zucchini with homemade "breadcrumbs": surprisingly edible. Especially sandwiched between leftover sushi and 4 day old salad. Sadly, I now have enough dishes to wash to keep me occupied all night.
Still, these experiments give me hope. Hope that one day I will know how to cook more than just taking what I have and throwing it into a frying pan together.
