Adventures in Cooking! (in Space!!!!)

There are some things money can't buy. These things can be enormously enhanced by imagining them in space.

On a slightly more serious note: tonight I cooked for the first time, a real meal for myself. Sure I've made scrambled egg sandwiches for lunch and baked cookies for dessert, but tonight for the first time I cooked a real dinner with vegetababbles and everything! I decided to chronicle it, then thought of the MasterCard commercials, then thought of Star Wars, then went a little overboard with the star shaped brush in Photoshop...although I must admit I forgot to do all the cool glowy filters on the lasers. Ah well.

Anyway, let this be a lesson to you all: cooking is not hard, is not scary, and means you don't have to live off hot dogs and peanut butter sandwiches for an entire summer like I did last year.

Now a week later I have not died and in fact just cooked some chili. When I say some, I mean I'll be eating chili for a week. I have postulated that anyone who is good at cooking and not freaking out at the same time is prime material for chemlab -- little chemistry is as fast paced as cooking is when you don't know what might burn or when you should have had cans already opened.
