Roadkill Cooking Tips

I'm getting ready for work, and I'm trying to save some money and not take more expensive frozen foods in to work. I'm actually cooking something.

This isn't anything fancy, it's pasta-in-a-box, sprinkled with recently unfrozen chicken strips. I'm so not the cook. Luckily I don't have a very extensive list of things I'll eat. I don't really have grandiose expectations with my culinary attempts...no foie gras or duck a la orange being made here.

Still, I told Chris that I want to cook for him over Christmas. He's cooked for me a few times, and I think I should return the favor. I haven't said what I'm cooking, and I bet he's worried about it now. Still, I'm willing to have a go at it.

I haven't cooked for others in years, opting to go out to eat mostly. The last time I can recall was trying to have a Thanksgiving pot luck for several of the band folks that couldn't go home when we were all stuck in town because we were in the Thanksgiving day parade here. It wasn't a big success, but hell, we had a good time. This was years ago, and I cooked spaghetti or something. There were turkey slices, but I'm not really equipped to take care of a turkey.

Hell, my mom is already planning the incredible Microwaved Christmas. I sure didn't learn how to cook from her. She says that she's picking up a small turducken roll. Would that be classified as a processed meat?

Chris already asked what I'm microwaving for Christmas. Just wait and see, honey.
