Kitchen Experiment

the burns in my mouth are slowly healing, but they present an issue when trying to figure out what to eat. i can't have alot of foods, sticky, crunchy, hard, salty, citrus, tomatos, etc... so i saw this as an opportunity to try something new in the kitchen with whatever i had on hand.

i had ground chuck hamburger, spaghetti, cheddar cheese soup, ranch dip and country white gravy packets!!!

i mixed the hamburger with the ranch dip packet and a robust squeezy of creamy horshradish i found in the fridge and don't even remember why i bought it. i did check the date on it, it was still good. i made meatballs and baked them at 350 in the oven for 30 minutes. They ROCK!!!! try it!

i cooked the spaghetti.

then i mixed the cheddar cheese soup, 1/2 a can of skim milk, 3 tablespoons margerine, and a 1/2 tblsp. of garlic then i mixed the spaghetti in with it. it did not have enough flavor, very bland, i think next time i need to add more garlic and possibly oregano or something to it.

then i made the country white gravy with the water.

i combined all 3 together to make cheesy spaghetti with ranch meatballs and white gravy. i give it a 7 out of 10. the 3 flavors together reminded me of a casserole. so next time i might turn it into a casserole. it was kind of like those KFC chicken bowls with the gravy, taters, chicken and corn. different, but yums!!!

i followed 1 cup for the spaghetti, 1/4 cup for the gravy, and 2 meatballs per serving. I had one serving and 5 others are now in the fridge, so it makes six servings.

got some actual support work to do today then the morning is wide open, but hot hot weather again, so i think the Wii and I will work out again.
have a good one.

What's buggin me?

bugs. I hate when they get inside and fly around. I killed one that landed in my cooking magazine by slamming the pages shut. After I scraped it's guts out the pages where covered in bug blood, so gross. I cleaned it as best as I could, but I ripped those 2 pages out and threw them away. No cheesy tomato beef bake or ham and cheese fold over sandwiches or beef pot pie with potato biscuit crust for me. I could write them down, but i lose handwritten recipes. I need them to be in a book or magazine or they just get misplaced.

And why is it when ever I have the fly swatter I never see a fly or any other bug. But the moment I cannot find the fly swatter or I am sitting all the way across the room from it I see a fly or bug??? Are the bugs that smart???

Bugs belong outside!!!! No exceptions!!!!
