Tried something, it worked..
Jun. 5th, 2005 11:28 pm6 or 7am this morning, I'm watching a cooking show. Mind you, I'm still up, and I go to bed not long after. I just do that on weekends..
Anyway, there's this cooking show lady doing stuff on the grill. She takes a large onion, cuts it into quarters, but not all the way through. She puts a beef bouillon cube in the center, and slathers butter on the top, and between the sections. She wraps the onion in tin foil and puts it on the grill. She says the end result tastes just like French onion soup, and that you can also do this in a regular oven. I file this concept away in my brain, and go to bed for a few hours. I had a dream that my apartment was destroyed by a tornado.
So tonight, I'm thinking- hey, I've got an onion! And some potatoes I could bake. So I get out the tin foil, I cut up the onion. I don't have beef bouillon, but I have chicken. I slather some butter on the onion. I cut the top off a bulb of garlic, and wrap them both in the tin foil. I bake them with two nice big spuds for a good long time.
OK, so it doesn't count as a real dinner, no meat or green things were involved, but holy crap- it was so good I almost cried!
Thank you, cooking show lady!
