I made dinner.

Sometimes I suddenly feel the urge to cook something. I have no idea why it hits me, it just does. Sadly I hate following recipes. It's good as a base, but it rarely ends up with being what it was meant to originally. And my repertoire is very limited when I don't have recipes, which I usually don't since I cba getting the books of the shelf in the kitchen. So I usually make something I can just throw in the oven with something on (halibut with pesto, cod with some chili paste, chicken with mango chutney) and make a salad along with some vegetables or rice or potatoes or whatever. Or a pie. Pies are easy too :p

And I agree with Standupright, chicken and strawberry? ***?
 
I love to cook, plus its nice to not starve; however, I don't do it for a living, so it makes it easier on me. I usually grill or do Mexican, Italian, or shepard's pie. But I'm super lucky to have learned how to cook this things authentically as opposed to the americanized versions of them.
