lunchtime at home

lunchtime at home is really depressing. i was hungry so i tried to combine whatever groceries i have left from April, before I spent the month living in a house in Philadelphia with no fridge but a mini fridge, mini fridge full of beer, mini fridge full of beer in the living room. this is what i had left: jar of tomato sauce, hot sauce, wasabi oil, bag of brown basmati rice, box of white basmati rice, two packages of annie chungs noodle dishes, taboleh mix, a can of navy beans, a can of pinto beans, a can of pineapple in pineapple juice. i also had the smarts to at some point recently, though not sure when or where, buy an avocado. so, i also had an avocado. id like to know what someone else would do with these ingredients because i came up with rice and beans and avocado. not all too inventive and not all too delicious. in fact, very bland and boring and unappetizing.

i'm not much of a cook. when the notion strikes me (which i think should be, when the motion strikes me, i've always thought so. i like the idea of my body spontaneously snapping into action rather than a lightbulb going off above my head) i can cook, and with someone else or for someone else, its fun. but lunchtime at home, cooking some sad little meal for yourself and then having to eat it and clean up after it...i probably won't do it ever again.

is this the first downer post?
