Roast beef, mashed potatoes, and pan-roasted zucchini. Yeah, it was really good. The beef was Hormel, already cooked with gravy, but I got it buy one, get one free, so the price wasn't bad at all (normally, those pre-made things are too rich for my blood). The potatoes were really easy, just seasoned with milk, margarine, garlic salt, and pepper. Also, I finally showed that I can cook green vegetables! I was most happy with the zucchini. I borrowed a friend's olive oil and dressed them just with salt and pepper. They got some nice caramelization and, except for a few I cut too thin, weren't mushy. It was a complete, completely-satisfying meal.
The only problem is that my dinner guest, Gaby, and I got hungry later in the evening and ended up splitting a plate of lad na at a place down the street called Thai Noodle. I attribute this to the insufficient lunch I had, but it was mostly because friends were going. Peer pressure is the worst thing when you're trying to avoid going out, but I won't worry too much when the company and food are both good.
