I have been wasting time trying to salvage a horrible mass-quantity meal I made for myself a week ago...
Lately I have had the cooking skills of a little old lady... more specifially- my Grandmother on my dad's side who was into tasteless and overdone - in fact, I was the only one who ate her food because I loved her so much- but now I am afraid I have some latent genetics that are showing up in the form of soggy, sour cranberry nut bread and heaping portions of chicken-flavored rice mush. I have no idea how to fix the rice. I don't think there is much hope, besides every time I look at it I get a little worried that it is getting another day older.. I guess I will have to throw this away and next time- find a recipe! No more improv cooking for me unless I really know what I am doing- like pasta with garlic and spinach or linguine with calm sauce..I haven't eating pasta in god knows how long...
