Engineer’s Attempt at Writing

It is about time that they do something.

For lunch tomorrow, I have decided to make pasta with 3 types of meat (kinda). I decided I want to have bacon, sausage, and chicken in my pasta. Why did I want these meats/meat substitutes? The reason is very simple, these were meats that I have in my refrigerator.

For dessert, I wanted cookies and so I bought some toll house cookies (breakable cookie).

Ingredients:

Penne Pasta

Red onion

Chicken breast

Turkey sausage

Bacon

Pine nuts

Pesto sausage

Toll house breakable cookies

Directions:

Start a 30 minute timer. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degree, and boil the water in a pan. While the water is boiling, and the oven is heating up. Cut up the onion, then the bacon, then the sausage, and finally the chicken. The reason you do this is because then you don’t need to wash the cutting board. If you had cut the chicken first, then you would’ve had to wash the cutting board afterward.

In about 8 minutes, the water will finish boiling. Add in the pasta and let it cook. Now with 21 minutes left, the oven will be heated. Put in the cookie.

Pour out the pasta, and quickly rinse the pan. Pour in some olive oil, add in the bacon, and onion. Add in the chicken, and sausage. Let it cook for a while, put in the pasta. Add in the pesto sauce.

With 11 minutes left, your cookies are done. Take it out and let it cool off on the stove top. In a tin foil, put some pine nuts in and let it roast in the oven. Just turn off the oven, and use the residual heat. This way, you don’t have to worry about burning the pine nuts.

Add in some Parmesan cheese and mix the pasta together. In about 2 minutes, take the pine nuts out of the oven and put it in the pasta. You are done.

With over 8 minutes left, go wash your cutting board, bowls, and baking sheet.

Lunch + dessert.

I decided today that I wanted some food. Nothing special, nothing interesting. Just some rice and some dishes consisting of beef with onions, shrimp with bean sprout, and egg plants.

Ingredients

Beef tenderloin

Shrimp (10 shrimps)
Bean sprout

Egg plant

Directions:

Pre-heat the oven at 350 degree. Cook rice in the rice cooker. While the rice is cooking, heat up the pan with some olive oil. Cut up the egg plant into circular pieces, and place it on the pan. Sprinkle some salt and pepper onto the egg plant. While the egg plant is cooking, remove the shells from the shrimp. All of this will take about 5 minutes. Put the egg plant in the oven.

Next cut up the onion, and then the beef. Marinate the beef with a little corn starch and soy sauce.  In another pan, put in some oil and some pre-chopped garlic. Next add the onions into the pan. When the oil is very hot, add in the beef and just stir fry everything together. This takes about 10 minutes, and now you have over 15 minutes to finish everything else.

Because of the high heat stir frying technique, you do not need to clean the pan . Just put in the shrimp, and add in some seafood spices (you can buy them at any supermarket). Add in the bean sprout and let it cook. Go wash all of your dishes, cutting board, and etc. This doesn’t take too much time as you only had a couple of dishes and stuff. In about 9 minutes the shrimp and bean sprout is done, and the egg plants are also done.

Eat up. You can wash the dishes you served your food in, and the pans in the final 6 minutes.

recipe tomorrow after I try it.
