I 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.

I don't consider myself "moved in" until I burn something I've made hundreds of times in any new place's kitchen.

I think because it's been so hot, and I haven't been cooking, I forgot that I hadn't already done that yet. :D

Hmmph! I hope that the next one works out better.

That's so annoying when that happens with rice! I've had it happen with flour, too, in the past. Bah. I just hope you spotted the bugs before adding the rice to anything...

Yes, there were there floating on the top when I added water to the pot. So wrong!

Oh, boo-urns. That's sad, I'm sorry.

It was very sad, it's true.
