Chigano

A friend told me a couple of weeks ago “I don’t like to cook, I’m just a picky eater!” At the time I thought she was being exclusive, that nothing out there is good enough for her. But then I figured there are so many benefits to cooking yourself at home.

1. You save money.
2. You eat healthier foods (should you choose so).
3. You get that privacy of a one-on-one dinner with your loved one.
4. You don’t have to drive.

Ok so is was around dusk I got hungry. Normally Vie would be in the kitchen cooking but today she was napping. I opened the fridge and out of nowhere took out some chicken, tomatoes and butter. What to do? Hmpphh I’m not a cook. I looked at the spice rack and found some oregano, garlic powder, chili powder and olive oil.

So here we go. I cut the tomatoes into tiny little pieces and I beat it to a pulp. I put water in the pan, threw the chicken in with some oregano leaves and some weird looking chilies I found on the kitchen counter and let it boil for some time. When the chicken is cooked I took them out and put them aside. Took another pan, well.. a skillet, melted the butter in it and added some olive oil. When the two fats heated enough to make a weird looking mix I threw the chicken and the pulpy tomatoes in. Sprinkled more oregano on it, added salt, the chili powder and garlic powder and mixed them good. Took them out, put them on plates with some garlic bread I magically made with my other hand while I was cooking and Vie woke up. We had dinner and surprisingly none of us got sick.

I thought it was all right. Vie thought it was good. I think she was just loving me. Either way I need to perfect it for next time, so until then I’m labeling this little invention, Chigano.
