the zoe mash

This is a quick post:

I successfully made a meal that Abu Ali liked (alhamdulillah). Quite basic actually, rice, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, and spices all mixed together into what i've now named the 'Zoe-Mash'... it's my specialty. The first three times a tried to cook it i failed in some aspect or another (the potatoes not being cooked enough, burning the bottom of the rice, and then the rice not being cooked enough) but I have now learned the tricks of how much water to add, what heat to put it at, and how much time to give the potatoes. Big step for Zoe into the cooking world that she barely new before. Now i'm just gonna have to work on adding meats to the agenda and then different types of veggies and pasta types. it's an exciting adventure.

Haha my roommate makes fun of me for only knowing how to make "mush", i.e. vegetable / legume / spice concoctions who, when finally cooked, have the consistency of slop. We are going to eat so well together in M3aadi!!!
