Y'all are getting right fancy with your cooking for this thread.
On Saturday, I looked in my fridge and found ... well, four onions. Since it was onions or shopping, onions it was. But you can't just eat onions, so I put some rice in the cooker while I sliced the onions thin and set them to reduce in a frying pan before wandering off to do a bit of writing. A wafting smell brought me back to the kitchen. Fortunately, it was a non-stick pan, so I was able to take the burned bits and push them off the bottom.
Now rice and onions isn't much of a meal, either, so I checked my cupboard and found ... hey, two cans of tomato soup! Progresso, no less. So one of them got stirred in with the onions and I wandered off again. Hmm, seems I've been here before. Well, a cup of water into the pan brought it back to loose. Seeing as the rice had been done for a while, I plated some, poured the tomato-souped onions over it, and sprinkled some parmesan on top.
On Sunday, I had the rest of it. And that, my friends, is what bachelor cooking is really all about.
Seems I'm down to oatmeal and rice now. I bet Grandpa Jed could figure out a way to make that work. I've got a can of tomato soup, too, if that's any help.
