to make tongues water


today, (as punishment for previously saying my mum's food tasted strange) i had to cook lunch.
at first i kind of freaked out because, well, i can only really properly cook plain spaghetti, microwave pizza/other microwave food(though that isn't really cooking, its being able to push buttons), fried eggs sandwiches, other eggy things (omelettes and scrambled eggs) and desserts.
so i decided to do some spaghetti and then just bung some prego sauce (from a jar) into it and throw some tofu in the microwave and put it on the spaghetti and serve it like that (which now sounds pretty gross if you ask me)
so as i was cooking the spaghetti (albeit in the microwave) i decided to become a superstar chef all of a sudden so i ran to the computer and searched for a vegetarian pasta sauce that was tomato based and write down all the ingredients. unfortunately i did not write down the quantities but it was ok because they were just numbers which i made up later. so i chopped up garlic and onions and threw them to sizzle in the pan. then i put in 2 huge glugs (my measurement for stodgy liquids/sauces) of tomato sauce, then i sprinkled coriander,oregano and parsley into the sauce until there was an almost equal blend of green and red. Then i mixed it until it was mixed and then i served it.
and it actually tasted quite nice, though my mum said it didn't have enough water (correction it didn;t have ANY water) and i thought it had a bit too much of herbs. My dad thought it was wonderful of course, like anything good i do.
