The rice was undercooked (even though I cooked it by the directions) and the chicken and corn were overcooked and dry. Blech! Not one of my best efforts. I'll probably have a bowl of cereal with a banana to make up for the horrible dinner since I didn't eat some of it. I'm so disappointed because I thought it was going to be a good dinner. This is why I hate to cook. I'm not a good cook and most things don't come out very good. I follow directions but don't know the nuances of cooking. My friend Lisa is an excellent cook who understands the nuances of cooking. I've tried learning from her but I just don't have what it takes. It's why I end up eating a lot of junk food and fast food and prepared foods.
Argh! I'm so frustrated. I'm going to try to not let this get to me though. I have to continue trying to cook food. Not everything I cook comes out bad. I wanted the teriyaki chicken and rice to be like Yakitori but it wasn't even close. The chicken would have been okay if it hadn't dried out. I knew I was cooking it too long. And the corn did seem a little dried out even before I cooked it. I shouldn't have even tried cooking it. Now the rice, I don't understand. I went by the directions but it came out a little chewy. It's the Walmart brand so that may be why it didn't come out very well.
Oh well, maybe I'll have better luck with the next meal.
