Cooking Dinner
I made dinner again.
I made a vegetarian dish with Chinese cabbage, lily flowers, fried tofu and dried shrimp. And I also made fried egg with chives and shrimp. And white rice to go with it all!
The problem is I made enough rice for four people, enough food for at least three.
O.o
I planned on making more rice to make fried rice so I can take it to work study this week but I made way too much rice... I think I have enough for work study for two weeks.
I am getting the hang of making fried rice though. It was the pot's fault! HAH! But mushy rice doesn't help either.
*sniffs* The rice I made today is totally mushy!
And my funsee is totally mush too. I cooked it for too long... :(
Also, I gotta stop making a ton of food when it's just me eating.
And remember that water evaporates and things can burn... I forgot about the oil I had in the pan on the hot stove and about the food cooking away in a pan... One burned the other, thankfully nothing happened.
Also I need to learn to cut away from me. I cut a good chunk of one nail today. Thankfully it was the part that is not on my finger itself...
Oh! I learned a new trick today. I've been making very bland food lately because I never put enough salt in. So now I put way too much salt (in my opinion) and it's good since apparently, way too much is just enough and enough is way too little. I'm such a bad judge...
One last note of observation. Chinese cabbage takes way long to cook. Next time, I'm gonna boil it in water for like 20 mins before actually starting to cook it with everything else.
Now, food! Everything is getting cold. My eggs have been done for like 30 mins so they're already cold... :(
