Some beansprouts
Soy sauce
Vainilla extract

Two small packets of mayonnaise (the kind you get with your burger)
Miso paste
Water
A beer
Some raspberry marmalade
Ice

No, that’s not the list of ingredients for a really weird recipe. That’s the entire contents of my fridge.

And that’s not even strange. That’s the usual state of affairs, for my

The little man that turns the light on ate it all. Bastard!

[anyjen]

And in the time between me posting this and you commenting, he even took the onion and the beansprouts and turned them into a curry! XD

(It actually wasn't half bad. But I'm never having curry for breakfast again. :P)

[moe81]

Guess he's a useful bastard then~~

Breakfast of Champions... That can't be sitting well.

[anyjen]

A lazy one, though. Most of the time he even forgets to turn the little light on.

I've had worse.

Onion curry...for breakfast. That is so bizarre (says the woman who just had sunflower-seed butter on cranberry-orange whole-wheat bread for brunch.)

After seeing your video from last summer plus your current list, I can tell you are serious about vanilla! So am I; I always have some of the real thing on hand. And that you love onions.
Things I always try to have in my fridge: rice cheese (I can't have dairy) sweet potatoes in winter and cucumbers in summer, eggs, sunflower seed butter (unless it's about to be opened), and whole-wheat flour (we get ants in the summer, and just had *mice* so I like to keep my flour and cereal safe).

Yeah, I know. But it was surprisingly good! XD

Well, I dislike the aftertaste artificial vainilla leaves in my mouth, so I prefer to spend a bit more and get the real one. Same thing for soy sauce. You really don't want to know how much the soy sauce that's sitting on my fridge door cost...

And that you love onions.Actually, I don't really like onions that much. The only reason that onion was practically the last thing on my fridge is because if I get them, I always leave them for last... I don't even want to think about how old that onion actually was. XD

I was already trying to put together the kinds of things you might make with all the above in my head when you told me it wasn't a recipie.

The famous beer-and-mustard diet, eh?

And no, this comment wasn't jsut an excuse to put together two otherwise unrelated sci-fi references. Honest!

Yes, yes, you DO need food. Otherwise you're going ot be living off miso-marmalade forever.

Oh but the onion curry sounds great for breakfast to me. (How'd you use the bean sprouts, though?)

...But this is from a person who buys spirulina drinks and cheez-its and calls the spirulina "soylent green", so you might not want to listen.

Yikes, I must be getting slow in my old age, because I didn't catch them. >_<

[anyjen]

That kind of thing needs to be recorded for posterity. XD

[sparklyfanta]

Wow, that is bare. But at least you're creative!

*waves*

Kick the refrigerator gremlins to the curb unless they start paying rent, I say.

[anyjen]

Now if only my creativity managed to give me yummy things instead of barely-edible ones, I'd be the happiest girl in the world...

(btw, I'm trying my hand at making the Fetching fingerless gloves... and right now I'm kind of stuck at the thumb. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to attach the yarn after removing the waste yarn and picking up the stitches. Help? :x)

[sparklyfanta]

How long have you been cooking? I can usually manage things that are at least edible, though not always--the other day I made some tofu with barbeque sauce, but the tofu wasn't pressed and drained enough, so it was very ick. (Bleh.)

As for Fetching, I usually tie the working yarn to the first available space--there should be a little bar of yarn from already-completed stitches, and I just tie it over that and start knitting. Make sure it's all lined up with your needles, of course.

Attaching yarn aside, how are you liking double-pointed needles?

[anyjen]

How long have you been cooking?

Since I was eighteen, so seven years... though it's generally been student-type meals. Nothing that takes too long or requires more than three ingredients. ^^U

I didn't think of that. Thanks! :D

I've still got to work out the kinks... I end up with a row that's too "open" where the needles are supposed to meet, and I don't know how to place the needles so they aren't poking me in two or three different places at once, but other than that they're quite fun. :D

I totally messed up this "fetching", though. I misread the instructions and it's a bit too long... plus I'm pretty sure I messed up the BO. Is it just me, or are those BO instructions confusing a hell? :/

Still, I want to finish it, at least. It's only my first attempt at both cables and DPN, so I didn't screw it up too badly, considering. ^__^
