I went straight home but not before making a quick stop to the grocery store to buy prepaid load for my cell. I realize now that I have this thing for the grocery. Something about it gives me satisfaction in orgasmic levels. I bought shampoo, bath soap, canned corned beef and laundry powder although my supplies are still fully stocked. When I was at the cashier, it turned out that they ran out of prepaid cards. I paid for my grocery and as I stepped out, I realized I completely lost sight of why I went to the store in the first place. I came in for load, left without it, and spent dough on unnecessities.
I walked in a slow pace, enjoying the star-filled night. I reached the house, opened the door, settled my groceries on the dining table and headed to my room to slip on comfy house clothes.
I settled for a tank top and gym shorts. I went to the living room, tuned in to Will and Grace on ETC and went to the kitchen. I washed my hands, then gathered my ingredients while enjoying the funny antics of my favorite couple.
1 large onion bulb
2 small tomatoes
3 pieces garlic
1 pack 13-gram Del Monte Spaghetti Sauce
1 can Purefoods Corned Beef
1 pack Spaghetti noodles (I have memory gap. I don't remember the brand)
1 pack Quickmelt cheese
I minced the onion, tomatoes and garlic. Cut the Spaghetti Sauce open. Opened the can of corned beef. Opened the pack of spaghetti noodles.
I filled a pot with water up to a little more than half then settled it on the stove. I opened the gas tank and turned on the stove. I took a pan, settled it on low fire and waited till smoke rose from the surface. I took Minola cooking oil and poured about a teaspoon on the pan.
When bubbles formed in the cooking oil, I sauteed the garlic till light brown, then sauteed the onion until translucent. I put in the corned beef, added a little more oil and mixed till the shreds disintegrated. I poured in the spaghetti sauce and added a teaspoon of sugar. I, then, added the tomatoes.
When the water in the pot started to boil, I added a tablespoon of salt. I took a bundle of noodles, snapped them in half and put it in the simmering water. After fifteen minutes, I removed the pot from the fire and drained the noodles. I placed the noodles under running water for about a minute to let it cool off and to avoid them from sticking to each other.
I placed the noodles on a plate, added sauce and grated cheese on top. I took the plate, got the bottle of Sprite from the fridge and settled on the living room center table. I was just in time for The OC.
I'm no chef and what I cooked was no gourmet food but hey, where else can you eat a mouthful of spaghetti, not worry about the falling strands and sauce all over your chin while watching you favorite TV show?
After The OC, I washed the dishes then proceeded to washing my bedsheet which was the unfortunate casualty from my Saturday hangover. I scrubbed the bathroom floor a bit after, watched Charmed and this feature on the Bermuda Triangle on Discovery, squeaked my wonderland clean, then went to bed. I think I covered about a little more than a chapter of Santa Evita before drifting off to lalaland... Boy, was I stuffed.
