“Remoted – Hybrid” – Day 995 (Wednesday) – cooking

Thank goodness the interest in cooking is coming back. It’s a lot more fun when it doesn’t feel like a chore. Tonight’s supper, inspired by what was in the fridge and the cabinet was tasty.

Supper!

It started with a pat of butter and a splash of olive oil, chopped onion, green beans, carrot, and mushroom. An excavation of the freezer yielded linguini and the cabinet had a jar of pesto. While the linguini cooked in the saucepan, the veggies were in the fry pan with a bit of garlic. It was all mixed with a splash of milk, a splash of the linguini water, a solid shake of grated parmesan, and it was supper in a bowl, with a couple Kalamata olives. Delicious. And there are leftovers to look forward to. And the one slightly out of focus photo taken.

The downside to the operation is always the sink full of dishes. Tonight it’s the fry pan, the saucepan, multiple knives, the cutting board, the bowl that held the chopped vegetables, the other bowl that held the meal, all still waiting for me to return and take care of them. 

The dishwasher is still full from being run last night. The cycle continues. Cook, make things dirty, eat, clean. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Adulting is not nearly as fun as I imagined it to be when I was a kid. Well, the part about eating whatever, whenever is pretty cool.
