Chaos in the Kitchen

This is nothing exciting. It was meant for yesterday, but then my internet went out and I couldn't post. This is about last night's dinner...

For lunch, I am eating an original concoction and hoping it doesn't give me food poisoning. It tastes good, though, and I'm pretty sure it's cooked well enough.

Sometimes I think it's fun to just throw some stuff in a pan and make something up. My roommate came in while I was cooking and said it smelled good. I told her I hoped so, because I was basically just throwing stuff in a pan. So here's what I did:

*Boiled a cup of rice in two cups of water
*Hacked up a zucchini and stir-fried that mother in sunflower oil and Kikoman's sauce
*Dumped the rice in on top of the zucchini
*Cracked 2 eggs and dumped them on top of everything else
*Fried everything for at least 7-8 minutes to make sure the eggs got well done
*Stuck a bowlful in the microwave for 2 minutes to just make extra sure the eggs were done (I tend to be more than a little phobic of undercooked food.)

Now I'm eating it, and it has a nice, mild flavor and thick texture. I like it because I'm getting a full serving of vegetables, whole grains, and protein. Also, all these ingredients are really close to the earth for those looking to avoid a lot of preservatives (I know I used some Kikoman's for flavoring, but it was moderate.) In fact, the eggs I bought here are so fresh they actually have feathers on them (which freaks me out a little bit... I always try to pick the one with the fewest feathers possible, which is ridiculous because by the end of the dozen I'm still going to have to use the ones with feathers.)

Anyway, so that was fun and creative, and now I've had a healthy lunch. Everyone go have fun in the kitchen now! :)
