I just put a can of pasta and some shredded cheese inside a tortilla. I expect this to work fabulously as a dinner to bring to work. Though next time I'm gonna strain out some of the sauce and use it for cooking or something.

Okay I took it out of the can first.

EDIT: It was delicious.

This is an abomination, and must be destroyed.

Bag o' noodles, straight from the bag, are extremely economical at only ~40 cents a package and filled with nutritional sodium and calories.

Potatoes are even cheaper, and offer a lot more calories than grains. It's just about the most (if not the most) calories per acre you can get, rivaled by very few other commercially grown crops.

I've gotten universally good feedback from this recipe. It has evolved slowly over a period of a couple of years and I think it's pretty polished. I'm quite proud of it. All the measurements are estimates - I don't generally measure anything but the rice and lentils.

Spoiler: Recipe (click to show/hide)

Sautee in olive oil until soft:
1 large onion, chopped
3-4 mushrooms, sliced
3-4 cloves garlic, sliced

Add in:
3-5 tablespoons each chopped FRESH dill and mint
sliced fresh chili to taste

Continue to sautee for a minute or two, then pour in:
1/2 cup rice (I use jasmine or basmati but any kind will do)
1 cup vegetable stock
juice from 1/2 lemon

Bring to a boil and let simmer, covered for 5 minutes, then add:
1/2 cup red lentils
1/2 cup vegetable stock

Boil and simmer again until rice and lentils are soft.

Serve with a simple salad (I use romaine lettuce, tomato, red pepper, cucumber, mushroom) and plenty of sauce (for both rice and salad):
1 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
salt and pepper to taste

Dressing tastes best if you prepare in advance and let it sit for a while in the fridge.

Hmm, and there I was today thinking what to do with all that rice that my family got yesterday.

If you try my recipe, be sure to let me know how it turns out. So far I don't think anyone has made it other than me.

The problem with cooking is it's addictive. You get a craving for a snack close to bedtime and you can't just munch on a slice of toast. I realized I have all the ingredients for tabouleh, but I didn't feel like making a big bowl of it so late, so I whipped this up quick and it's delightful.

Into a bowl, mix:
1/2 cup yogurt
a bit of cucumber, cut into small cubes
a few cherry tomatoes, also in small cubes
about two tablespoons combined of fresh parsley and mint, coarsely chopped
just a bit of chopped red onion
dash of salt and pepper
little squeeze of lemon juice

Mix well, eat off pita bread. Delicious.

Total prep time: 7 minutes

EDIT: Forgot the onion

CHICKEN WINGSSSS

First attempt (recipe):

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

At this point I did not know that true chicken wings were wings cut in half, and was confused as to why my drumsticks were so much bigger than regular restaurant-ass drumsticks. I fixed that with my second attempt.

Have you heard of the legendary mouthgasm? Those chicken wings will make it a reality. They're based off this recipe, but I've improved it. Also I didn't have any cayenne powder so I replaced that with chili powder. I'm pretty sure that works.

This recipe is for a small batch. I definitely recommend going larger if you're confident in your ability to not fuck up. I know I will next time.

Ingredients (wings and rub):

• 6 chicken wings - About 1.8 lbs. Or 12 mini-drumsticks/two-bone-bits if you cut 'em in half already.
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp pepper
• 1/3 tsp sugar
• 1/3 tsp paprika
• 1/3 tsp chili powder

Ingedients (sauce):

• 2/3 cup smokey barbecue sauce
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1.5 tbsp ketchup
• 2 tbsp hot sauce
• 2 2/3 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp garlic powder

If you already have an appropriately sweet barbecue sauce, you can probably replace the BBQ and honey, and maybe the ketchup too.

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400F. Stir all rub ingredients besides the chicken wings together in a sufficiently large bowl. You should get some ugly looking stuff with the consistency of wet sand. Then add the chicken wings, stirring to the best of your ability. It's not easy to stir a bowl of chicken wings, so nobody will judge you if the rub isn't perfectly even.

Put some aluminum foil down on a pan, or just use the pan if you're brave and like cleaning chicken juice and burned barbecue sauce off metal. Spray some Pam down, stick the wings in, and cook for 40 minutes, turning them over at 20 minutes.

Sauce time! Mix all that shit together. It'll go faster if you put the butter in first and let it melt by itself. I didn't remember that, unfortunately. The sauce needs to be simmering when your wings' 40 minutes are up, so I started shortly after turning them.

Once you're done cooking the wings, dip them in the sauce and put them back on the pan. Cook them for another 5 minutes, then remove, serve, and experience chickenlightenment.
