I love that on day one I didn’t actually cook anything. Cutting corners from the beginning – lovely. But, nonetheless, dinner tonight was, according to Lee, the perfect meal for a lazy Sunday.
After being tempted to have Lee stop for food on his way home from Target, I settled on something easy: baked potatoes with chili and a salad. I cheated on the chili – all I did was open a jar of Hormel’s new Chili Masters Chicken Chipotle. We hadn’t tried this before but the commercial intrigued me and it was on sale, so we thought we’d give it a chance. It had a nice flavor, but was pretty mellow, even for me (and I don’t like things spicy). Lee added Tabasco Habanero Sauce to his and said that made it much better.
Sadly, I had a few ridiculous questions about making baked potatoes in the microwave. Lee told me to wrap them in plastic wrap (which I ended up doing), but my mom suggested substituting paper towels in the microwave because she thinks it’s not healthy to heat in plastic. I chose to ignore this advice since I have worked on way too many parts per billion projects at work. : )
Note: I included our kitchen iPod set-up in this first photo, an awesome Christmas gift from Lee’s parents, because it will play a key role in every meal I make. Seriously, without it, I might not even try.
