It's a thing! It's a thing!

So, last night I cooked what was probably my best culinary endeavor to date. That sounds more impressive than it is, but I'm very impressed with myself. I'm a pretty bad cook, generally, I mean, I've got a couple of things I'm good at, and a few I can fake, I cook a lot of stuff that comes out of boxes or cans, just add blank stuff, but I'm not really a branching out kinda cook.
I made this chicken stuff, (sounds real appetizing when I put it that way)the chicken itself wasn't too exciting, it was just pan fried with salt and pepper, it was the sauce that made the meal. I was vaguely going off of a recipe in my cookbook, (part of the reason I'm a bad cook is because I'm reluctant to use a cookbook) but I only had about 2/3's of the ingredients, but I figured I'm the only one eating it, and after a diet of ramen and taco bell, bad sauce won't kill me. Anyhow, the sauce turned out great, it was a butter cream sauce with mushrooms and garlic, mmmm....Getting hungry just thinkin' about it. So I put a chicken breast on some rice, topped it with mozzarella cheese (no meal is complete without cheese, after all) and then the sauce. And the best part; I get to eat it again tonight. The bad news is, if I make a habit of this, I'm gonna get fat.
