Eating like a poor bugger

Well Hiya guysss


It's been awhile, sorry about that, I've been busy working on my film project. I'm finished with the story board AND the shot list (yay, go me!) and I'm all set to hand it in tomo-'scuse me, need to get some water, these noodles are SPICY!

OK back now. Anyway, ya, my film, it's coming along nicely. Paul, the stubborn member of the team has finally cracked, and I have him working on our script. I'm excited. He's a smart, funny guy, so I'm glad we've got him engaged.

In other news, I've been cooking for myself now. And I don't mean Easy Mac/Ramen Noodles. I mean real meals! Well as best as I can do with no reliant source of income, I mean I donate plasma when I feel motivated to do so, it's just a LONG PERIOD OF TIME. For a small pay out.

Well Friday night I made this scramble, like we used to do back in high school. And by "we" I mean people I no longer hang out with, cause they're all tools/I moved across the state :-P

Any way: When we would all hang out at AJ's house, we would get hungry around 2 or three in the morning, so we would make these scrambles. It would be a whole roll of Jimmy Dean's Sausage, with a shload of potatoes, onions, and zucchini. We'd season the fuck out of it w/ garlic, salt, Worcester sauce, hot sauce, etc. W/e we felt like. Finally, we'd melt a block of cheese over it, and consume it. It was greasy, artery clogging Heaven on earth.

And I recreated here, in a tiny apartment kitchen, using only vegetarian options. Mainly out of necessity, but never the less, it was GOOD.

I started out dicing two small potatoes. They were a bit past their prime (IE squishy to the touch and growing eyes) But I cut them open and found that they weren't rotting, so I used them. In addition to these potatoes, I skinned and cut two small (but still really potent) onions. I then heated a skillet w/ some olive oil in it, and added the potato and onion mixture to it, with a big spoonful of diced garlic (I love garlic) and a healthy pinch of crushed chilis. I let this simmer and sweat for a while, and in the mean time I prepared my veggie burger mix, by adding the mix to a bowl full of hot water, and letting it sit for 15 minutes after I mixed it. I then crumbled the mixture into the pan, and fried it all up. When everything was golden brown, and seared ever so nicely, I cut the heat and transfered it to my plate.

It was amazing. I just wish I had cheese to shred on top of it. But all in all, a good night's meal. (bottom photo, my apologies first time dealing w/ photos :-X

Saturday Night, I made Penne (center photo) w/ a tomato/basil sauce, to which I added sweated onions and some left over veggie crumble. It was fairly divine.

That's pretty much all I've done. I'm off to go play on StumbleUpon

buh-bye

And tonight I made Bowtie (top photo) noodles w/ a spicy olive oil dressing. I sadly burnt the garlic/red pepper/olive oil dressing when i was making it, so it obviously tastes a bit burnt, but it's still really good, and filling
