Um... no for reals, yo.
I actually used to be afraid to stand near one.

Not when I was like five.
This was two or three years ago.
SO NOT JOKING.

But now I am like the frying pan Amazon Warrior.
So I try to make dinner most nights of the week and... "sauté" my food...

Ok, let's get real.
I'm an American, so I am really just frying that stuff up with a minimal amount of olive oil.

[ and Rachel Ray? I think you are pretty great, but can we stop with the "EVOO" movement? That's like my ninth grade history teacher who would call vocabulary "voc" and vacation "vacay" and... I think I've blocked everything else because it was too hilariously disturbing somehow...]

err...
What was I babbling about?
OH FRYING PAN.

Yeah so...
I "sauté" a bunch of stuff, because I put it in a frying pan and drink wine out of a stem-less glass and listen to sleazy jazz and... sway back and forth with my eyes closed so I don't have to worry about burning anything.

But it usually turns out super TASTY and totally unexpected and successful and like... stuff I could never duplicate.
But YAY!

I just wanted to report my success because it makes me happy.

Tonight's menu:

Thinly sliced "double browned" beef in a dry cider and sriracha glaze wtih caramelized apple and sweet onion.
Served in warm brown rice and fresh tomato on quick steamed baby spinach.

DUDE SOUNDS TOTALLY FANCY RIGHT?

Yeah. No.
Destroyed the kitchen and burned myself- got some spinach all the way into the dining room- I think that's a new record.

Totally yum though haha.

[took me like thirty minutes- PM if you want to know how to do it. SUPER EASY! ]

Nice; sounds yummy. My eyebrow raised a notch, when I read "Sriracha."

Nice, chef.

I have a serious bear-phobia.

Where does THAT leave me when it comes to conquering fears I wonder...

OMG me too! I don't even know why! For some reason I'm scared I'll like slip or something and burn my face, same with boiling water when I'm cooking pasta and that. Idk why it is...

You're hilarious, and I love the Oatmeal, so I have to go now so that I can friend you.

Me, I had a Del Taco dollar menu kind of night--i can afford the things on the two dollar menu, too, but that's where all their veg (i.e., bean) stuff is. But I watched Master Chef while I ate it, so...
