Cooking for One

I have started making my own salsa. Pico de Gallo, really. I buy two giant tomatoes, which variety does not have a lot of seeds or seed matter; onion, lime juice, cilantro pepper and garlic. It's all chopped up and refrigerated in a big big tupperware container.

Homemade quesadillas are easy. One heats up some cheddar, gently in a frypan, and puts the tortilla on top to adhere to the cheese while it warms up. Opening a can of refried beans, adding a bunch of salsa and heating, one spreads the mixture on top of the melted cheese and adds a bunch of supermarket bag salad if it's there. Satisfecho.

Tired of the long Quebecois winter? Me too. How about some French food? It involves a can of Campbell's cream of broccoli, frozen peas and carrots, half a box of pasta and some sour cream for the Campbells instead of water or milk. Season to taste, maybe with cumin and red flake pepper. Original Cajun!

......................................

And then there's cake. Mom bakes so I can bake easily too. Or, one could just practice baking, if you think its important. Half a box of chocolate mix, use one 9 inch round pan, adding lots of coconut and extra semi sweet morsel chocolate. Frost with can frosting. Great!

I don't know about you, but Hot and Sour Soup is one of genuine foods at the Chinese takeout delivery. Real Siberian Power!
