listersgirlI just cooked my first real (non-salad, non-sandwich) meal in the new apartment! It was kind of disastrous!
It's entertaining cooking in a new kitchen - I'm still not totally sure where we put some things, so there was a bit of a shuffle to find the measuring cups. Also, the spices still don't have a place to live, so they were a bit awkward to find. And then, there were bugs in my basmati rice! I somehow completely read the recipe wrong (even though I've made it dozens of times before), so it was a little overly cumin-y. Finally, the (brown) rice totally didn't cook -- "min" on this stove is basically completely lacking in heat. A good thing to know.
So, yes, dinner was not entirely tasty. And I was so looking forward to it! Oh well.
