Hey There Super Friends!<\/b><\/p>\n

I just had a thought:<\/p>\n

What’s for dinner?<\/i><\/p>\n

That’s not an idle question, or a hackneyed one in this context. Somebody is on holiday in Europe, so I’m here by myself. I’ve made myself lovely meals consisting of soup and sandwiches, sandwiches WITH soup, and burritos (no soup).<\/p>\n

First, a disclosure; I’m a terrible cook. At the Labor Day barbecue I ruined potatoes for crissakes! I destroyed perfectly innocent asparagus at that same event. Squash? Squashed. I can overcook pasta, I can undercook ice cubes. I’m terrible at it.<\/p>\n

So what do I do instead? I make things that I don’t think I can easily mess up (see: soup). This is challenging only because it limits my repertoire to only a couple of things (once again with the soup joke) and that gets really boring really quickly.<\/p>\n

I heard a new phrase yesterday. “Semi-vegetarian” which was defined as not eating red meat. That pretty much defines my diet but I also don’t ingest pork or poultry. Fish is okay, as are the standard dairy case items like eggs, milk, and cheese (cheese!). I guess what I’m asking is, what’s for dinner? What’s a good recipe (or recipes) for me to make that I can’t completely destroy? Deliciousness is key, but easy is good, and I’m not afraid of spiciness. I even embrace the spiciness! Thanks for the help.<\/p>\n

Your pal,<\/p>\n
