Lazy Cooking

First - there is business to attend to! Has ANYONE switched to Blogger Beta yet? Is it any good? Does it suck?

DISCUSS NOW! Or else.

Now that the business at hand is out of the way, time for today's main topic!

Say you are up late watching DVDs from NetFlix because you have no job to go to tomorrow. Maybe it is your Friday! Maybe you are taking a few days leave. Maybe you were downsized due to budgetary bullshit. Maybe your job was shipped to India. Whatever.

Of course, you run the risk of getting a snack attack staying up late. And just for kickers, say you do not feel like getting up and going to get some take-out. Maybe you do not want to stop the movie. Maybe you are drinking beer. Maybe you are in your underwear and do not feel like getting dressed. Yea, you could always just throw on a t-shirt and drive to Taco Bell in your undies. Who cares if the neighbors see you. What are they doing up anyway? Don't the bums have JOBS?!?!?!

But you might get stopped by the fuzz. The fuzz might be looking for a random pervert who just flashed a bus load of nuns. The random pervert might be driving the same car as you. Then the cops find you, in your undies, with Taco Bell on hand. Not very good!

Well here is all you need for a decent midnight snack!!

1. One or two cans of chicken breast.
2. Olive oil.
3. Some sort of sauce.

Obtain a small skillet. Put some olive oil in the skillet. Turn on the heat to high, because you do not want this to take all friggin night. Open the can of chicken. Drain the can in the sink.

By this time the oil in the skillet will have heated up. If not, just wait a bit. When the oil is heated, dump the chicken in the skillet. Stir fry the shit for a few minutes.

When the shit starts to smell like food, add the sauce. In my case, I found some teriaki sauce. I was looking for soy sauce, but whatever. Anything you like can be added really. Put the sauce in the skillet. Cook for another minute or so.

Drain the shit. Eat it. Total prep time, about 5 minutes. Maybe less.

If you want to get all fancy and stuff, you can make some rice to go with the chicken. You could also put some eggs in the rice, add mushrooms and some random veggies, and make your own fried rice - but this will take more time and would count more as "dinner" than a "snack". I am just saying that if you happen to have some leftover rice you can use that.

OR MICROWAVE INSTANT RICE! I forgot about that stuff! I need to get some. I will have to go back to the store soon, I am just about out of beer.
