So, I have a friend who has expressed a tiny bit of interest in cooking. And I love to cook. Not that I'm the best or anything, but I am perfectly willing to try new things. This would be how my husband got roped into fixing tamales from scratch while I finished the apple-cinnamon roll cupcakes (gotta love The Cupcake Project blog) and got our friend to help me with my homework. So... grad school... started last week.... library science... first time as a student in four years .... weird....
Anyway, my friend will now have the option to help with quick, easy dinners when she comes over. Which may be more than she bargained for, and I may be taking this way too far. Shhhh! I only posted it on the Internet. On a blog that no one really reads except my hubby (who co-stars with me) and my best friend since at least middle school (when she has time -- that woman never sits still, and I have no idea how she does it).
Now, I kind of wish I had one of those plug in eyes of the stove so that we could do cooking lessons around my dining room table instead of in my one-butt kitchen. (Didn't you know that's the internationally recognized measurement of cooking space in one's kitchen?)
Wish me luck!

Fish pasta
Okay, so V (no, not THAT V -- my husband) and I made an improvised fish pasta this evening, and it was pretty dang good, if I say so myself. Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
4 fish filets (swai, in this case)
about a quarter of a pack of imitation lobster
half a box of linguine
an 8-oz. pack of cream cheese
1 Roma tomato, diced
3 zucchini, sliced into long strips
about a cup of frozen spinach
half a cup of shredded mozzerella
1/2 or 1 cup of colby jack cheese
garlic powder
paprika
salt
pepper
thyme
basil
oregano
Greek seasoning
crushed red pepper
*** Seasonings are all to taste.
Directions:
1. Boil fish until it starts to come apart. Fish out with a slotted spoon.
2. Boil linguine and spinach in water the fish was in. Add sliced zucchini after about 8ish minutes of boiling. Drain in colander once noodles are done.
3. Mix cooked fish, cream cheese, linguine, tomato, zucchini, spinach, spices, and mozzerella (basically everything but the colby jack cheese), and then put in baking dish.
4. Top with colby jack cheese.
5. Bake in a preheated oven (350 deg.) for about 15 minutes. Makes a BIG dish -- 8 servings for us. Though, V liked it enough to have 2 servings in one night. Personally, I had dessert instead. :-)
