fruit punch sangria

bread, microwaved zuchinni, stircooked brisket. brisket is a bad choice for anything but slow cooking. but i'm hungry and impatient. it wasn't too chewy. add a little water to the bowl of cut up veggies, cover, then microwave. usually a 1 serving size for me is like 3 mins on high. less if it's less dense. the crispy brown thing is fried beef... my aptmate was breading and frying stuff that night. including homemade banana dumplings or whatever they're called.



mushrooms. heated 1-2 tbsp butter in a pan and added 3 cloves of smushed garlic, half a chopped onion, and then 3/4 lb white mushrooms (sliced ~1/4 in thick). sprinkled random dried herbs like savory, basil, celery salt on. after they turned kind of brown and exuded liquid, then added some red wine and cooked until the liquid was almost all evaporated.

chicken. chicken tenders from costco defrosted in microwave, sprinkled some garlic salt on em, tossed into an oiled pan on med-high heat. haven't got the timing right yet. still need to cut 1 open to figure out when it's -just- cooked. i don't like tough chicken.

rosemary bread from la brea bakery via costco.



in the corner you can see my "sangria". i figured that if i was going to have wine out i may as well drink some of it. though mixing it with fruit punch (from kiddy birthday party concentrate) just isn't the same as what the spaniards make... i don't suggest you try it.
