Heroism in the Kitchen

Note to self: "If you can't cook, make sure to follow the cooking instructions."

Yesterday, I ate rice with pasta sauce. It turned out to be a terrible combination and it didn't help I cooked the rice for 8 minutes, which I assumed is reasonable for rice, BUT one day later I found out this rice needs cooking for 25 minutes. That does explain why it was like eating little bullets. For some reason, too, the sauce was very watery.

Is there such a book written especially for single men who can't cook? Maybe I could watch cooking programs all evening long, but I terminated my tv subscription a while ago, so I am not the stereotypical single guy who eats pizza and drinks beer on the coach in front of the tellie.

No worries, though: I'll cook eggs tonight and that has never gone wrong. Add slivers of leek and onion, nicely baked. No rice. I think I'll try potatoes. What can go wrong?
