I defrosted and panfried some salmon steak. I microwaved and mashed potatoes with a bit of butter, sprinkling rosemary on top. It wasn't a perfect combination, but it wasn't bad for something I just threw together. =) CookOrDie to the rescue!

Mike brought some of the stuff from his Good Food Box, so we used up half the cabbage in that soy sauce and onion cabbage thing. We also used totally random vegetables in soup, which turned out quite well.

We had tons of fun cooking and catching up with each other. =)

I also got two tomatoes and one green pepper.

I have decided not to eat out unless absolutely necessary, if only because I hate throwing food away. The Good Food Box is evilly designed to require me to either throw parties or eat lots of veggie-based dishes if I'm to avoid wasting too much food. I would love to get together with someone who'll take care of the meat dishes. =)
