This is a disaster waiting to happen...

That was the main thought on my mind when I was doing my first-time cooking of my late lunch today. I was thinking of having a more "proper" meal beyond just sandwiches or cereal, so I decided I'll try to cook up a simple meal. I bought some pre-cooked meat last week, then my roommate had a box of pasta with cooking instructions on it. Pasta + meat (+ some cabbage for vegetables) seemed like a good idea.

Man it was an adventure. At first, I was going to microwave the pasta in a bowl. After I put some water in the bowl and tried to fit the pasta in (with some of it out of the water), I realised that the bowl was rather small (and so was the plate I was planning to eat with). We didn't have a bigger bowl, so I had to transfer all the pasta (and the margarine below the pasta) into a small pot to cook on the stove. Once I got the pasta cooking on the stove, everything was quite smooth from then on (as long as I just followed the instructions), only thing was that I had to get a larger plate for eating with.

The chicken was pre-cooked with black pepper sauce. However, I had to puncture the plastic bag containing the chicken and the sauce a few times to ventilate it while heating it in the microwave. The bag was SOOOO stubborn. I was like furiously poking at it with 2 forks and it took me a while before I managed to make a few holes in it.

In the end, not too bad, quite satisfied with myself. :)
