Classes are finished. I passed my exams. Contacted my school. Now what?
Well, for the last two months, I haven't been able to cook much (surprisingly, something I like to do). In fact, I haven't even had the time or (with this heat) mind to go grocery shopping. So yesterday, I finally did so.
And what should I come up with in my vitamin deprived state, but the inexplicable urge to cook with tomatoes-- a vegetable which, despite my healthy respect for a good-LOOKing one, I utterly despise. But there were some on sale, so I picked them up.
So here is the end product:
The 'Tales of' series prompted, Japanese dish, "Omu-raisu." The name is a Japanese combination of the words "omelet" and "rice" essentially amounting to "rice omelet."
The Japanese tend to top the dish with ketchup while the Koreans seem to prefer a watery tomato sauce, both of which are too sweet for my tastes. So this one is garnished with my own homemade (dorm-made) tomato sauce (tomato, garlic, and onion sauce). While delicious, the sauce took me the better part of my "morning" (aka, early afternoon) to make. The eggs took probably about 6 minutes.
After that, I decided next time I would probably just mix some salt and garlic in ketchup.
This evening, while out and about with a friend, we picked up some meat, came back, and had a really nice pork and veggies in peanut sauce. It was the first time she had seen cooking with peanut butter.
For once, I'm actually glad to be eating something besides ramen.
