cooking update.

yeah, so i apparently am not as adept at this easy meal as i thought i was. i was cooking my rice and following the directions... the lid was on and i was waiting the 20 mins for it to be done when i start to see a lot of smoke... the smoke detector went off and i was wondering what the heck i did wrong?! apparently all the water evaporated and the rice was burning. let me tell you: rice stinks once it's burned. my house smelled disgusting for a few days after that. well, i soaked my pot... put it through the dishwasher, but alas it could not be saved (it was super old and pretty crappy hand me down anyways)... since that was my one pot, i now need a new one. but i'm not discouraged! i went to trader joe's and picked up some more fish - mahi mahi, tuna, salmon, and some orange something fish that sounded tasty - all in that premade and seasoned packaging. fantastically cheap and healthy meal.

my poor poor pot:

Hey, atleast you're trying! Did you cook it on low? When the steam stops coming out, it means its done....good luck with the fish!
