It took drastic circumstances to get me to this point. A small town with no restaurants, a bankrupt city with no activities, a summer semester with too much free time. Oh, and a quarter million debt and dropping 18 eggs on the floor.
Recipes I've been practicing:
Chicken: Debone chicken half breasts (97c/lb). Chop into chunks. Rub in salt, pepper, and garlic. Add vegetable oil. Rub more. Heat a skillet to high (no oil added). Sear chicken for a minute. Flip and sear again for a minute. Turn to low heat and wait 5 minutes. Allow chicken to cool for 5 minutes before eating.
Omelette: Dice bell peppers, ham, tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, and onions. Place in pan on low heat with small amount of vegetable oil. Shake pan to spread out. Place aside on a plate when finished.
Whisk two eggs with a little milk. Pour into pan on low heat. When top is the only part runny, add a handful of shredded cheddar and jack and add the filling. Fold the omelette and allow to sit for one minute.
I like practicing knife skills and efficiency/multitasking. I'm only using one pan and one of the range tops for now. Every day, I still eat pasta, oatmeal, an apple, an orange, and a banana. But when dinner comes along, I look forward to trying new combinations.
Because I'm basically the only person in this house, I buy each component on a small scale. I'm experimenting with shallots and mushrooms right now.
Will post pictures as soon as I get my camera back.
