Dinner

Hello, and welcome to cooking adventures in the kitchen of Erin.

Tonight we will be making stuffed mushrooms.

To make this recipe you require:

• 100g (cooked) brown rice
• 1 spring onion
• 1/3 can of chopped tomatoes with garlic and herbs
• 2 large mushrooms
• grated cheese

Serves ONE :)


Just thought you guys might like to see what I've been feasting on. Tonight it was indeed stuffed mushrooms. From a magazine. Which I was able to cook. In the oven.

I was even able to learn something in the process: Brown rice takes a miiiiiiiilllion years to cook. I see why the recipe told me to get ready cooked brown rice now... But considering that one bag of pre-cooked rice costed about the same as a bag of uncooked rice which was about four times the amount, I had to make the budget decision ;) (Other recent budget decisions include: Budget bread which was $1.50 over molenburg which as $4.50). But in saying that, I buy budget bread and then $5.00 pots of white chocolate spread for my toast.... DON'T JUDGE ME! It was necessary.....

Back to the cooking.


So after your rice has cooked (if it ever does....) you mix everything together, put it in the mushroom, put cheese on top and then in the oven. Simple as that. But don't forget to cut the spring onion...


Voila,
Dinner!


I very much enjoyed it! I must say, I quite enjoy brown rice. It is different, but good. Another thing I have come to like: Soy milk! I tried it at Majas once and fell in love. Although, I made the mistake of getting the cheap dodgy Asian option the first time which tasted a lot like I was drinking tofu.

NO.

BAD.

It was disgusting. I forced Ryan to try some and he was still going on about how bad it tasted the next day. I bought some legit stuff the second time around and it was very nice (to my relief).

I also bought some storage containers from Briscoes. Ryan was with me at the time and ending up being my muscle and carrying them all around town. Because Briscoes is reeeeeally far away. I bought a huge one for all my clothes and a few small ones. In fact I went to Briscoes hoping there would be a sale and surprise surprise, there was! I swear, everything is always on sale there.... Then went to the Warehouse in search of a cheap bookcase. They actually had some too! But they were an awkward shape so I decided against getting one. But everything worked out well in the end as I moved everything into my new storage containers and lo and behold, there was more space than I realised! So now I have one shelf entirely dedicated to tea (and hot chocolate).

Tomorrow is Winston Peters.

And then I'm coming home for the weekend.

Hurrah! :)





Love Erin
