The measuring cup comment in my last post is definitely random as I review that post- I wrote with stream of consciousness.... but honestly, something as simple as a set of measuring cups, or one nice big Pyrex one makes a difference in how I'm able to prepare a meal. I'm so grateful that we can cook in our living quarters - bake, no. But we have two electric cooktops, a microwave, normal sized refrigerator AND a dishwasher that we did not have during the first 1.5 months following the fire.
Gratitude! that's my daily theme. I don't waste time thinking about what I don't have, but appreciate the very simple necessities that so many of us take for granted.
Seriously, I've never made rice like this, but rather than "guess" at the amount of water to use to make rice, I bought the almost "instant" rice - and guess what! It really was ok.... but from a cost perspective, I'd rather get a bag of rice lol.
Because we have a functioning kitchen we have not had to eat out since we moved to our location in Hawthorne. That's a big deal. I don't eat fast food - so eating out wasn't cheap.... we sure did have some good ramen downtown as well as an amazing breakfast bowl that Jade and I would share. Thank goodness for Whole Foods prepared foods. Basically, that's what we lived on initially.
First day in the "suite" I made greens.... yep, and then I cut my finger and had to go to Urgent Care the next day.... oh well - i got a new knife and it was SHARP. All is well now! One Day At A TIme!
