I hadn't thought of doing curry or other indian foods with fish until I saw it on the menu of an Indian restaurant in Milwaukie. I've been wanting to add more fish to my diet, but don't have any experience cooking with it. Now I have something easy.

I don't actually make salads. I rarely buy fresh produce because it goes bad before I use all of it (or sometimes any of it). I'm usually pretty spontaneous with cooking, so it rarely works to buy fresh stuff beforehand. My mom's traditional green salads have usually contained chopped iceberg lettuce (although she's started adding more varieties now that they've become pretty common), cucumber, white onion (sometimes green), tomatoes, radishes, and often zuchini, mushrooms, and/or cauliflower. And since I so rarely eat fresh produce, I often don't put any kind of dressing on it. In restaurants, I usually order thousand island on the side.

I go through phases of different types of base items - rice, pasta, couscous. I had a couscous kick for a while a few years ago. I'll probably rediscover cooking with it again at some point. I was usually cooking it with vegetables mixed in and then would cook the meat item separately.

It's easier cooking for myself, because I don't have to stress about whether or not it will taste good. I only do it once or twice a week, but usually get at least two meals from it and sometimes three or four. I'd get tired of eating out of cans quickly. And there is so much sodium in that stuff. I do it, but not more than a couple times a week, at most.

I don't usually do anything with the cream soups unless I'm trying a recipe that calls for it. I have been hoarding a can of progresso creamy mushroom soup for a couple of years, because it is so yummy - just plain, by itself. I haven't seen it in stores though. I think it was a sample I received at work and it may not be widely carried or has been discontinued.

The cordon bleu sounds super yummy.

Yeah, it's Xanax. Never tried that before. One girl I used to work with took Klonopin, I never knew what it was at the time. We were at some guys house and he gave her a bunch of his pills. He handed me a few and told me not to let her take them all at once. She forgot them in my car, so one night when I was extremely stressed out and about to lose it, I happened to come across them in my console. I looked it up online and saw it was generic Valium. I took one to mellow me out and it knocked me out lol. I felt kinda drunk at first then slept wonderfully for hours.
I have 2 new clubs to go to this week so I'll be sure to test the Ativan out, I hope it chills me out, I got so worked up the last time I just went back home. Something I CANNOT afford to do anymore. I don't know why I am so scared to do such simple things.
