The Best Meals are the Simple Ones

My favorite meals have always been easy to prepare and even easier to eat; sandwiches rank an all-time high for love. My current favorite, and therefore something I eat for any meal quite often, is comprised of two parts: Asparagus and rice. Simple, yes? I have been cooking rice for so long (and without any fancy rice-cooker) that I have it down to an art. I’ll tell you now: The box always lies when it comes to the required water. The asparagus. Oh, the asparagus. It is a crying shame that I never enjoyed it until more recently. I always cut my spears in half, mostly because they fit in my pot that way. I boil them for a few minutes, just to tenderize, then I drain and transfer them to a frying pan, where they are promptly fried in a concoction of soy butter and lemon juice. It. Is. Godly.

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

December 28th, 2010 admin Comments off

Indeed, Christmas is my favorite holiday, like so many others. I believe, though, that my spirit for Christmas is a bit skewed from the normal perception. I don’t celebrate it for its original, religious intentions, and the economy has battered receiving presents down to a heap of wrapping paper and tape with not much inside. Nor is it about spending time with family and loved ones, as I have few of those near me and even fewer that I can stand to spend any real time with. No, for me, giving is really where I’m at. I enjoy it more than anything else, and though I partake in it as often as possible and in as many ways as possible, the spirit of the season really lights a fire under me. I always tend to break my bank around this time, as I’m sure many do, but it still amazes me in the end how I managed to find so much money around my bills when the rest of the year seems to have no pocket change for even ordering dinner. It must be magic~

Good Food

December 23rd, 2010 admin Comments off

Food was interjected at some point, but I couldn’t even tell you when. When I finally separated myself from the myriad of blinking windows on Windows Live, I drug myself out to the living room to watch a movie about an old guy killing gang members. Of course, about five minutes after I settled down, my laptop called to me and I allowed it to join me in watching the old guy kick some serious butt. This led to dinner (ravioli, homemade sauce, and fried okra; oh, my!), a bath, and more computer time. Now, I’m looking at my clock and realizing that it’s 7:30 in the morning and time for bed. Well, that was quite a satisfying day.
