bizarre meal is bizarre

[merrily]

I looked in the fridge tonight, weighed my options, considered if I could order pizza, and ended up chopping up two beets and half a sweet potato, steaming them, frying an onion and a couple cloves garlic, adding the beets & potato, stirring in a beaten egg, then topping the whole thing off with half a cup of salsa.

Yeah, I don't know what I was trying to make either.

It is a little delicious, but mostly weird.

ETA: Just remembered I have Haagen-Dazs! Yay, my meal isn't going to consist mostly of wine! (It turns out I don't want to eat the beet-sweet potato-onion-garlic-salsa mess. Surprise.)

Well, garlic fixes everything.

[merrily]

It didn't quite fix this. *looks askance at the mostly uneaten pile of food on the coffee table*

Then I am skeptical that you added enough. *nod*

[merrily]

That is the only logical conclusion. :-)

...actually, that does sound quite delicious, perhaps with a little cheese or some sour cream.

(I refer to every weird thing I make on a whim and limited supplies that I can't otherwise explain as "vegetable stir-fry" or somesuch, which sounds like it could mean something but really doesn't. The fact that I can't really cook except by stir-frying perhaps helps me in this case.)

In theory that could be wonderful? but now I'm worried that I'm just adding everything at hand in the hopes it will improve, and so far that isn't working.

I think I'm going to put the whole mess in the "boil for soup" container in the freezer, and try not to look at it.

(Yay, stirfry! This is often also my tactic.)

I'd have kept the (beets and sweet potato) and (egg and salsa) separate, myself, but I definitely sympathize with the lazy made-up dinner gone awry feeling.
