I absolutely and unconditionally LOVE food.

I've been doing a bit of cooking lately, which has been awesome. I told you I'd post pictures of the omelet I made, and hey, look, I deliver! :D

I realized I should be taking pictures about five or six bites in. So here is the beast. Four eggs, a packet of ramen noodles (no ramen seasoning), tomato, bean sprouts (OH GOD, SO DELICIOUS), salt, pepper, and melted cheddar cheese on top. It was cheap and easy to make, and had a really nice amount of veggies in it.

Melted cheese and tomato. My expression when I was eating was something like this:

Needless to say, it was rather good.

After being so successful with the omelet, I decided I wanted to treat my wonderful housemates to something delicious. The gentleman Jon Howard and I thought that pesto and pasta of some sort was a fine idea, and I was to make the pesto.

I went NUTS.

Basil, pine nuts, olive oil, spinach, garlic, lemon juice, goat cheese, parmesan cheese, and sea salt all came together to make an unholy paste of wonderful green stuff! I started eating it with Ritz crackers, as I was hungry and it smelled really good, and I was doing it without any sort of recipe and deemed myself worth of the position of taste-tester.

Look at that delicious cracker (ba-dum-TISH).

It was a really smooth pesto. That beautiful green had a much better taste and texture than I expected; usually my kitcheny type things are disasters. :D I ended up making a lot more pesto than I expected originally. I wasn't expecting much more than a few good spoonfuls, but I ended up making about 10 fl oz of this stuff. IT WAS AMAZING.

That bowl is sitting next to an 8-oz drink cup. So much pesto!!!! It was absolutely delicious; had some more with orzo for lunch today. It was even better the second day around, once it had had a chance to mellow out.

But, as it turns out, I was WAY too tired this evening to make anything, so we ordered pizza. Go figure--as soon as I find myself confident enough to experiment in the kitchen, I get lazy. XD So now I'm sitting on the couch with a barbecue chicken and pineapple pizza, watching Bedknobs and Broomsticks with Jon, and I have little doubt that I look like pretty ridiculous, because I'm feeling like this:

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY~!
