For my first meal, I decided to start simple: spaghetti and sauce. Spaghetti is a staple in my house, and I alone can go through about 2-3 boxes a week. The sauce wasn't hard to make, it just took some patience. In essence, it's just olive oil, crushed tomatoes, garlic, and onions left to simmer, but there lies the problem: I didn't want to wait. I wish I could say that it was worth the wait, and having made it myself meant it tasted that much better, but it didn't. It was good, but I was so hungry by the time it was done I would have been just as satisfied had it come from a jar.
The greatest learning experience of the day was food shopping. I had to go out and buy the garlic and the crushed tomatoes (the rest of the ingredients I already had), and I mistakenly bought one pound of garlic. Yes, I have one pound of garlic sitting in my fridge right now. As I assume most people know, that is a TON of garlic. Seeing as the recipe itself only called for four cloves of garlic, one pound was certainly not needed. Oh well, lesson learned.
