Let's face it, I'm a Johnny-Come-Lately-and-One-Upper too. MrNiceGuy changes his name, I change mine numerous times. Several folks on the ether post picture journals, I too shall post a picture journal.

Without further ado, I hereby present SYH Makes Dinner--A Cornucopia of Digital Photographic Delight.



I feel like chicken tonight. Chicken is good. Besides, those two quarters have been thawing in my fridge for a week or so. They need to be eaten.

But what goes with chicken? I'm sick of potatoes & onions & carrots with my meal. I want variety, dammit!


Hmm, I do have this bag of rice I purchased yesterday. Chicken & rice it is! (yes, that's a 10 pound bag of Twenty Minute Rice; only $3.49!)

Proper rice preparation from the bag: one cup rice + two cups water + one tablespoon butter (opt.) + one teaspoon salt, boil mixture, cover & simmer for 15-20 minutes. I doubled that, except for the salt. I had a brain fart & used one tablespoon of salt. Hello blood pressure!


While I wait for the rice to cook, I think I shall make tea. Hmm, I have a one quart container so that's...four teaspoons of tea + one quart of water. Got it.


Mighty dark, isn't it. Yep, the dreaded brain fart once again reared its ugly head. That's four tablespoons of instant tea + one quart of water. It's quite potent. (for you non-cooking/pro-metric types, one tablespoon = three teaspoons)


Ahh, Buttery Rice. Soon you shall be covering my chicken.


Or not. Need more Buttery Rice!

{ten minutes later}


Much better. I am the king of accelerated Twenty-Minute-Rice-Cooking. Just to be safe, I'll drizzle one cup of water onto the rice. {water runs out of dish} Maybe half-a-cup was enough...


Cover with foil and stick it in the oven at 350 for, uhh, a while. Call it an hour or so. Maybe more.

So there you have it--SYH Makes Dinner. Pretty spiffy, ain't it? I thought so too.

In other news, here's my new(ish) cellular device. Not only was it free, it's also made in the US of A. You don't see that everyday.
