Chicken pot PAH

Open ends of pouchy thing they wrap it in, and look at the directions. It says something like, "For big super hot microwaves, nuke it for 5 1/2 minutes or so."

I got clever, and decided to not only stick it in the microwave for a bit longer than that (6:15 minutes), but on power level 80.

Damn, I felt like I was finessing that pastry-capped little bowl of chickeny gloopy goodness. It did turn out really well, actually.

Microwave gourmet cooking. It's the new millennium.

Pizza ma non Cilantro

some amount of left over pizza
Coke(tm)
ice (optional)
cilantro (way optional)

Locate your leftover pizza. Slap desired portion onto a plate. (A paper plate is fine, some paper towels will do in an extreme pinch.) Set microwave to one-minute and nine seconds and nuke away. (Adjust time according to portion size and microwave power.)

OK, you now have approximately sixty seconds to scour your refrigerator for fresh cilantro, or your cupboards for dried cilantro. (Advanced losers can try both, at your own risk.) If you find cilantro, immediately swear and toss it into the dustbin. Alternatively, cilantro makes excellent fodder for your garbage disposal, if it is working.

Serve Coke(tm) over ice and enjoy most good pizza! (Careful it may be hot!)

shake n bake pork
white rice
canned vegetable mix, cooked in tupperware in microwave for a half a minute or so, with a little butter, and if you can afford it some plastic wrap so you can fool yourself into believing it was somehow "steamed".

1 can beans (I like navy beans, m'self)
2 small cans tomato sauce
onion
fresh cilantro
green pepper
garlic
whatever the hell else you want

Open the can of beans. Dump it in a pot. Open the cans of tomato sauce. Dump in the same pot. Slice the non-end, non-yucky, yes-edible bits of onion into the pot. Rinse off the cilantro and tear off bits to dump into the pot (alternately, shake in some dried cilantro). Slice in the green pepper, or not. Dump in some garlic, or garlic powder if you're a plebe. My grandma puts pumpkin pieces in her beans sometimes, but it's not necessary. There's also these little envelopes of ham flavor you can dump in, although if you're doing it full bore you can also acheive the effect by frying a few small pieces of country (salt-cured) ham in the pot before adding the beans, etc. If the rice and beans are going to be a side dish, you can stop here. If it's going to be a main course, you can dump in some separately cooked meat or meat substitute (ground beef, bacon, crumbled soy burger, etc). Simmer on medium high until it smells good and the onion is clear and limp. Stir once in a while so it doesn't burn at the bottom. Serve over white rice cooked separately, preferably in a nifty rice cooker which is only $20 at walmart, you cheap bastards.

put meat on paper towels. get the oil off. drop one on the bread with all the stuff, put shredded cheese on top of the soy. put on the other soy puck and then the other bread.

goes well with sam adams winter lager

First, throw out the rest of the leftover fish that gave you food poisoning.

3 cups filtered water in microwavable bowl, heat for 12 minutes, or until boiling. Add packet of Lipton chicken noodle soup. Nuke again for 5 minutes. let sit for a couple minutes.

Don't forget the oven mitts, as the bowl will be hot hot hot. Ladle out high-sodium broth and re-hydrated noodles and diced chicken meat into a small bowl. Eat slowly.

1 baby. White is best. After all, it is the other, other white meat. Alternatively you could use a half-white, half-asian baby. The genetic mixing of flavors is truly something to savor.
1 white onion, minced
1 tomato, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 cups peanut oil

Heat the peanut oil in a wok (authentic cookware!). Add the baby, onion, tomato, and peppers. Saute evenly. Be sure to turn the baby often for even cooking.

Serve with a nice bottle of tsingtao beer or some sake.

good noodles

1 package soft udon noodles (you can get these in asian grocery stores)
boil the noodles, throw away the salty flavor packet, drain
1 tablespoon natural peanut butter. mix this in when the noodles are still hot so it melts. do not use the ultraprocessed peanut butter for plebes. was re: skippy.
pull the tails off some leftover shrimp and add those. the shrimp, not the tails.
mix in some oyster sauce (or pad thai, teriyaki, or peanut sauce...but not all of them. you have to make a decision here, people.)
add some thinly sliced cucumbers

When you get off the bus, make a right into the parking lot of the garishly-lit convenience store. Purchase one side dish of spinach souffle, as well as some chicken and noodle frozen dinner, or a turkey tetrazzini thing.

The spinach souffle does taste better if you over-cook it in the microwave, so leave it a bit longer - the crusty edges and stuff will begin to brown and harden ever so slightly, and they're just tasty that way. The chicken/turkey/noodle/rice dish won't have some sort of apple compote component this time, but that's OK.

Because you bought Sour Skittles for dessert.
