Thanksgiving Break is a beautiful thing, but not perfect. I think there’s a very accurate expression “If you need something done, ask the busiest person.” This comes with the corollary: “A person with much to do will always sabotage themselves when confronted with plenty of time to do it.”  Well, we’re coming up on finals week with plenty of projects to work on…soooo.

First was a simple mix of potatoes, onions, corn, and ground round. I mixed a bit with rice for the first go-around, then cooked it overnight in beef broth. The result of which I showed in the picture.

Second, thrice cooked chicken (boiled, grilled, and pan fried[olive oil and lots of minced garlic]) in rigatoni. I overcooked the noodles a bit, as you can see in the picture, but it was truly delicious with plenty of basil, grape tomatoes, parsley, and Parmesan cheese.

I’d love to hear/see about easy dishes that you guys like to whip up.  For now I’ll put my nose to the grindstone and hope to improve my productivity.
