Art Everyday Month - Day 11

Wednesday, November 11, 2009

I spent the majority of my day working on my website. I've still got a few tweaks to make but it's done for the most part.

Scrrenshot of Portfolio Website

Since I was doing my website I didn't get in any actual "artwork" but I did get a little creative with our dinner. So I'm counting that for my notch on the Art Everyday Month belt.

You know those nights when you haven't gone to the store and you have nothing to make but you're still too lazy to go get something? Yeah, that was tonight. So I invented a meal!

Ingredients for dinner

I scrounged around and found some canned chicken, green beans and a packet of those flavored rice side dishes. I had found some bread crumbs I wanted to use too but we decided they were too old. Damn!

So I mixed the rice and added some butter and milk to make it a little richer. So far, so good...

I threw the chicken in once the rice started boiling. That looks appetizing doesn't it? Cory still wasn't quite sure about my little project.

Canned chicken

Now, I'm not a big fan of canned chicken but I wasn't going to through away two cans when they were left over from a new recipe I had tried. I've been around the bend enough to know something like that comes in handy (even if you don't really care for it).

NOTE: I discovered if you don't wait to put the chicken in the rice until the rice is almost done it turns out really soupy. Not good if you're eating it as is.

Never fear though - I had one more ingredient!

Finished meal

Turns out the sauce thickened up and the extra moisture was just enough to add the green beans. It looked pretty good once it was dished up.

Now for the taste test....Cory and I both liked it. My meal was a success!


Do what you love and the rest comes on it's own!
