I haven't cooked since August when i had that disaster with that bean stew. But i'm eager to save money since i've been looking into my finances. Compound interest is very exciting! Cooking is a way of saving money so i cautiously made an attempt. I laid in a whole whack of my favorite noodles (rotini) during the Spring lockdown and i haven't touched them. So i boiled up a big pot and mixed in some marble cheese i had in the fridge and my favorite frozen veggie mix with lovely edamame beans and these cute little mini corn-on-the-cobs.

I was scared to eat it but it was not bad. It just tasted like the sum of it's parts. I feel true skilled cooking is when the result tastes like more than the sum of it's parts. @Soupe du jour: am i right? But it's all my favorite things so i feel okay about it. Also, i find anything homemade gives a feeling of well-being. I've been eating a brand of frozen mac-and-cheese with 500 calories and 1170mg of sodium. My own cooking sure beats that!

And it was all stuff i had in the kitchen so it was free! And it made four servings!

I did all the dishes and put them away. It was hot hard work.

So that was my little adventure.

Hugs to all who suffer!
