Well, glory hallelujah. I forgot how AMAZING it is to have a functional kitchen!
This evening I had the opportunity to make a full dinner for three people, myself included, and all of a sudden I remembered that I basically haven't cooked anything real for eight months. Between student teaching and the gross summer living situation, cooking just wasn't an option.
That's all changed now.
This evening's dinner included rice (with thyme, bay leaves, chicken stock, and butter), breaded chicken, asparagus, hollandaise sauce, and a very nice Riesling wine. Nothing very complicated, of course, but it was good nonetheless. Also, I've never made hollandaise sauce before. Turns out...it's pretty good! I took pictures, but my USB cable is currently buried in a bin in the back of my car and is therefore inaccessible. I'll do it later.
A note that I'm absolutely positive I've made before: butter is the key ingredient to making anything taste good. I will stand by this statement until the day I drop dead from an artery blockage, which, given my views on the substance, is entirely probable.
