I should be better at this sort of thing.

I cooked! Well, kinda sorta, anyway, for a very low value of 'cooked.' Erm, okay, I boiled rice. But it went much better than the last time I attempted to do such a thing. In that, after fifteen minutes the water was all gone and nothing got burned, anyway. Some of the rice was a bit crunchy still, so next time I'll have to remember to add a bit more water and let it cook a bit longer, but still, it was edible and it didn't take an hour to make. I added a can of diced tomatoes and it was all very ... edible. Not exactly filling or satisfying, though, so I may end up having a pbj sandwich later, even though I'm trying to cut out a significant portion of the bread that I eat (and I already ate cereal, graham crackers, pizza and goldfish today).

Some day, once I've mastered the whole boiling rice thing, I'll branch out into more exciting and tasty foods, but until then I'll just be satisfied that I didn't order out dinner.
