COOKING.

First off, I would like to introduce you to my new icon. It is wonderful because our microwave at work was blinking exactly like that last Saturday. No one knows why. There was no food in it. No one had used it all day. It was just sitting there, blinking... Food... Food... Food...

Perhaps it was hungry.

ANYWAYS. I got to play in the kitchen today. As I am extreeeeeemly broke (technically, I'm $3 in the hole, but SHHHHH) because of a miscalculation while paying bills, I pretty much only could use what I had on hand. So I made this:



Oh man, guys, it was awesome. Venison, garlic, barley, tomatoes, black beans, and cheese. Also some ground cumin and chili powder, for good measure.

EXTRA BONUS POINTS: I have never really used barley before, except as specified in a recipe given to me by my mom. So when I was making this, I was pretty much just kind of hoping it would turn out okay, and not crunchy and/or chewy. Luckily, it turned out juuuuust fine. I was very happy.

I just really wish I had sour cream. It would be even more amazing with a little sour cream on top. Oh man.

There is an awful lot of it, though. Just a little bit was enough to fill me up, so I will probably be sharing some of it with people.
