I am experimenting with cooking.

Mind you, I'm not talking about particularly exciting cooking; basically I've moved from "boil-in-a-bag rice" to "remove the rice from the boiling bag and try cooking it in something," in this case chicken soup. I was trying for sort of chickeny rice but what I ended up with was, well, chicken-and-rice soup. Next time I try this I'm not going to

Yay for tiny steps!!

I don't want to bombard you if you are not ready, but I some super easy recipes for leveling your cooking skill from o to 50.

I'm kind of having fun going "let's find two very very simple things that I already like and see if they are still tasty when they have been spliced together into some bizarre mutant foodstuff."

. . . okay, "chicken and rice soup" is maybe more "sixth toe" than Magneto, but again, baby steps here.

Anyway, I may very well get back to you once I have run out of things I can dump randomly into a pot and boil for a few minutes. :)

That is a good way to begin. I like it. It is pretty much how I started cooking.

I had to look up what Dinty Moore stew is. Personally, I prefer chicken and rice over beef and rice, but that's probably habit. :)

Dinty Moore is nostalgia food for me; it was pretty much a staple of all my Boy Scout camping trips. It's pretty good for canned food.

Provided, that is, that four different people don't walk past the campfire and, without actually tasting the stew, decide to add pepper. When you can actually see the flakes of pepper floating in the stew . . .

I have nothing against canned food, I've just never had that particular one. I'm rather fond of Campbell's tomato.

Recalling a previous remark from you about "Don't interfere with the meat," it occurs to me that at some point you might want a slow cooker. :)

Have one! :)

Well, had. I'm not entirely sure where it got to among the various moves.
