the recipe for AWESOME
Ingredients: One rainy night. One free house. One rented jyoujunigakubou CD-- these 12 awesome Chinese chicks with crazy asia-fu music. One billion assortments of foodstuffs.
Directions: Take leftover veggies from last night. Combine with in saucepan with half-size container Classico olive and mushroom flavored spaghetti sauce (470 yen-- OUCH) and fresh mushrooms (250 yen-- eh). Simmer. Make salad. Boil water. Slice garlic. Cut bread. Add 2/6 package Italian Import spinach fettuccine (380 yen-- also ouch, but with 3 servings left) to boiling water. Toast french bread (furansu pan!) with butter and garlic. Make hot cocoa with 3.8% milkfat milk (don't forget to call it co-co-AH as do the Japanese).
Put butter, sauce and parmesagn cheese on pasta. Arrange other food perfectly. Take pictures of finished product because you know it looks and tastes TEH AWESOME. Or maybe just because you are TEH CRAZY.
This is why I want a "WHAT WHAT" for my host mom being out. I love cooking... but only NO-PRESSURE cooking without people hanging by like I'm making food from freaking Mars. It's been SO LONG since I've been able to make myself nice food. But yes, I'd also forgotten how much it sucks sitting down to a GOOD meal (read: not one you want to wolf down just to stop feeling hungry) all alone. Great, I get to look forward to one more year of it at college-- but not without plenty of interludes with friends, I'm sure.
You know what? I'm going to take a bath and go to bed completely satisfied. That was some of the best pasta I've ever made.
