incinerator plate

So I am not having much time to do inventive cooking because I'm working around 10 or 11 hours a day, plus another 2 hours of commuting.. when I get home it's 9pm and I just want a quick meal, so in goes a microwave dinner...

However this past weekend I did try cook... and I learned some valuable lessons. 1) my 'hot plate' is an incinerator plate (technically I already knew this, but now it is confirmed). 2) you can't boil rice in soup. Or at least not 'cream of chicken' soup. I was going for a psuedo rissoto thing... in my mind it was going to be fantastic... but it just didn't work and I created an epic burned up mess.

No photos, sorry.

Perhaps this weekend I'll do something successful, like a stirfry or something. Otherwise me and the microwave will continue to be best friends.
