cooking without ingredients

[tsukikage]

I am in the midst of experimenting with chicken, black beans, rice, and whatever else we have in the house that I come up with to throw in there. Right now I'm just thinking of thowing it all together in a bowl and maybe putting a little soy sauce on it, or maybe cooking the chiken with a bit of miso. (Originally I wanted to try to imitate my mom's salsa chicken, but we're essentially out of salsa, so...) Here's to hoping it turns out edible.

You know, if most people were cooking chicken, black beans and rice, they'd be thinking Caribbean. Those are the kind of recipes you ought to be lookin up; even with soy and miso, it ain't gonna come out like Asian food. It seems to me sometimes that you honestly, Nastassja, need to remember that there are several inhabited continents on our world that are not Asia and do not include Japan. ^_^;

A) I haven't really had carribbean before, so I wouldn't have any real ideas as to what to make, or even what to look up.
B) Salsa isn't Japanese, or even Asian.
C) So sue me - I wasn't in the mood to use most of the spices we had around the kitchen. ^_^;

P.S. Your icon really makes me want to see Slayers...

You should. It's cracky, but it's the kind of cracky any truly geeky person should be able to appreciate. And its serious moments are really good, too.

Oh, you know I love crack. ^_^
