I made foods!

I was starving when I left work - feeling nauseated level of starving. And sadly, I have no magical, instantly ready food at home. So I did something I generally prefer not to do. I cooked.

Vegetable Tikka Masala

Qualifier: This is the easy, very basic, cheating way to do it.

One pack of frozen jasmine rice in the microwave for three minutes. This makes enough rice for two people, so half of it went straight into a storage container in the fridge.

1 red potato, sliced thin
5-6 babycut carrots, chopped into half inch pieces
1/4 - 1/2 smallish onion

All sauteed in a pan until the onion is transparent.

Pour in about 1/3 of a jar of premade Tikka Masala sauce and let simmer about ten minutes.

Combine rice and sauce, enjoy!

It's a bit of a shame that I'm so proud of myself for having done something so very basic as throwing a bunch of pre-made foods together. But it was yummy and simple and I need to remember these things. If I remember to go to the store and buy veggies and things like that, I can put together a yummy and quick meal. That 'quick' is important when I'm get home feeling so hungry I'm sick.

That's "cooking", to me! Way to go!

(I feel nauseated when I haven't had enough sleep.)

I sometimes wonder how I've managed to reach this point in my life, as clueless as I am about some of these domestic things that other people seem to pick up almost in infancy.
