Loser Chef's Diary: A New Paradigm for 21st Century Cooking

Meal #1

A superb dish. I had done some grocery a day or two ago and gotten something thinking it was lettuce. Turns out that thing was not lettuce, I guess it was cabbage. I still don't know (I'm serious, I'm not saying this to be funny. I don't like to categorize vegetables). I then went back to the grocery and got actual lettuce. Both the lettuce-like veggie and the lettuce went into this meal. The rest are tomatoes, onions, garlic, cashews, and mushrooms. I dumped these things into the pan as I sliced them (in no particular order). As the things began to stick to the pan, I added some olive oil. I later on added a little bit of milk for its nutritional value. As you can see from the picture, some of the lettuce pieces were burned which probably made the taste even more distinct.

I ate some for lunch and spared some for later. My roomie and her mom came home and ate what I had spared without asking (it's not rude because I do the same to them) and they actually told me it was very good. I don't know if they are lying. [Addition to manifesto: Approach anyone who praises your "meal" as tasteful with utter cynicism. Do not fall into the habits of ego to feel good from such praise. Discard it, deny it, invalidate it, call them liars or idiots.]

Tasteless heaven. The pasta you see is Eden brand organic pasta. I boiled some water and dumped some pasta in and cook for about 10 minutes. I drained the water into another saucepan (because the water you cook pasta in has lots of vitamins and you don't want to let that go down the drain). I put some mushrooms inside that saucepan (did not slice the mushrooms) and reheated that water for a while. I don't know how long. I also threw in one piece of garlic (not sliced). I then drained the water and added the mushrooms and the garlic on top of the pasta. Of course, no spices whatsoever. Mmmmmmhhhhh.....
