I'm not much into grocery shopping, and not much into eating out, either. So I end up making a lot of what you might call everything that's left in the cupboard "bachelor" meals ... the kind you don't mind eating yourself, but wouldn't dream of serving to a kid, or a guest, or your s.o.
Tonight was jasmine rice, cause I still had rice.
And a big can of crushed tomatoes tossed in, cause I still had a few cans of crushed tomatoes.
And a small can of whole kernel sweet corn, cause I still had one last can.
And a handful of salad olives, cause that's what was left in the jar.
With some dried hot peppers shredded into that.
And a solid dash of the ultra-dark soy sauce I picked up at the oriental store a couple of years ago.
I've got to press and hold and press again and press some more on the buttons on my programmable pressure cooker before I can get it to believe I want something cooked, but it's not dead yet, so I'm not going to replace it.
All in all, not much to look at, but it tasted just fine. Toss a sprig of parsley into it, which I don't have, and it'd probably look okay anyway.
And there's enough left over for dinner tomorrow, too. Another day without grocery shopping, yay!
