I feel so self-sufficient

Tonight I made dinner for myself, not because anyone was coming over and not because I needed to have food for a potluck or something but just because I was hungry and it was dinner time.


Making the enchiladas, rice and beans was a blast – in part because I had the Zona '06 Staff CD on as my cooking soundtrack and also because I was going wild with the cheese. And it all turned out hella tasty, which made it even better.


Cooler still was that Mike and Beth had some and liked it, and not only that, we sat around in the kitchen eating and talking. Yay meal-based togetherness!


But I think I'm most proud of the fact that, despite my usual M.O., I don't have to rely on other people, restaurants or microwavable foods to keep myself alive. It's like I can provide for myself in a way... a really yummy way.
