I can cook!

A truer statement has never been stated. I've always been able to cook. From the days I helped my nan in the kitchen, I can at least cook a basic meal. Nothing fancy, mind you, but I'll take my cooking over damn microwave meals any day. 

The end of uni has kicked my arse into getting my body back into good condition. Food has been a part of this, and the spare time I have now I can actually prepare healthy meals and packed lunches for work.

I bought myself a nice bit of haddock (don't talk cod to me, scum) and decided to oven cook it tonight. Accompanying said haddock would be white rice and veg. Now that's a plain meal. What could make it more interesting? We know how Charlotte likes to research things, so Charlotte searched what seasoning goes best with haddock. Garlic and thyme ended up being my culprits. I used the minimum of each, smearing my garlic paste on and sprinkling my thyme away, I then wrapped the haddock in tin foil and cooked for 10-15mins. The result:

To the experienced eye, this may still look pretty plain. To my eye, an average cook, it's superior to my average meal. Yes, I used microwavable rice and didn't open the top slightly so it exploded and I've only just remembered that I didn't clean the microwave. Yes, I used Asda's own frozen veg. But that fish was where it's at. A nice healthy meal to match my new going-well-so-far attempt at health and fitness.

Food, man. It's good.
