Mmm. Living the life of the Sybarite, moi. Sleeping until all hours. Running to the library to engorge my library book bag with all kinds of delicacies. Returning home to have a yogurt/banana/blueberry/walnut parfait. Falling asleep on the couch with Stephen King in one hand and Taylor in the other.
Just woke up. Pondered hard on going to Mundo Del Pollo for Saturday dinner. Then I remembered that I had paid my bills today, all of them, a number of them seriously overdue. My mail lately consists of letters that read:
Dear Ms. Becs,
Threat threat threat threat threat...remove or turn off service....more threats...amount I owe them...no mercy for grieving cat moms....more threats.
Sincerely yours,
The People To Whom You Owe Money
But lo! Today, they are paid. I am current. This leaves me with enough money to see to my needs for the week. The cats have food. I have food. I have gas money. That pretty much covers my oh-so-high-maintenance needs.
But seriously? Mundo del Pollo? Even at a very reasonable and filling dinner for a whopping $15, I think right now I'll just hold onto it.
So I went into the kitchen. Hello, kitchen. Hello, wall. Haven't really looked at you for a long time. What have we here? Oh! A Toaster! Hello, Toaster.
It went on like this for a while until I decided to scramble some eggs and make some toast. Oops. No butter. But I can make a scrambled egg sandwich.
What bliss! Food! Hot food. From my house.
And while the dining experience left much to be desired (I have no clean plates and ate over the sink), the taste of hot eggy bread followed by a swig of cool milk almost made my head explode with joy.
I think this cooking-at-home thing might work out after all.

Whereas I took roast chicken, re-roasted the bones, made chicken stock, cooled it, used it to make quinoa, cooked ears of corn, sliced off the kernels, and mixed it into the quinoa with some chopped roast chicken. It tastes awful.
I have recently rediscovered the joys of a peanut butter and guava jelly sandwich. Simple can be so good!
Ellen - No cumin? No garlic? No nothing else?
Silk - I have Bonne Maman cherry preserves for my pbj. Yum.
I was going to add lima beans and cheese. Lima beans and garlic sounds better.
