Apparently Hestia got bored and decided to have a way with me today. I actually accomplished doing dishes, going grocery shopping, and now I'm just finishing up dinner (with a small handful of modifications...acorn squash just sounded amazing to me today when I went shopping), and will be enjoying a nice glass of light red wine with it (pinot noir...red for the richness of the squash, but light enough for the fruit and sweet). Too bad Dan's sick and asleep and can't enjoy it with me.

Wow...really...I never cook. Apparently twelve hour days cooking at work make me want to cook on my days off? Strange.

Oh...modifications...like no mushrooms, no apricot because I didn't want to buy something I wouldn't eat later, added more cider than it said to and added brown sugar when I combined everything, plus added a bit to the tops before baking. It actually could probably have used a splash of cider in each half (or drizzled over the toppings before baking) and a layer of brown sugar inside the half before filling. It's not bad, but I think I prefer regular old acorn squash with lots of butter and salt and pepper.

Okay...I really kinda suck at cooking, but I'd love to learn how to cook some good things for myself. I'm looking for relatively cheap, not too time-consuming, vegetarian (or easy to just leave the meat out), HEALTHY recipes ideal for no more than four servings (I live alone right now, people, and I tend to forget about leftovers if they last more than a couple days).

I'm up for anything--except really spicy (I'm not a spicy food person).

hmm...I need to find some good non-meat tosh recipes, I think. That's one thing I loved about the Central Asian group...tosh at our gatherings. Maybe I should tell Mom I'd rather have a crockpot and food processor for my birthday instead of a new bike (tosh and hummus...mmmm)...I can always still use my old one--it's not in too bad of shape...it's just a little old.

Oh...and in case you didn't catch that--I love trying new things out...and I love Middle Eastern/Central Asian food.
