Fajitas

Tonight, for the first time, I cooked an actual dinner for myself. With the help of a friend, of course. I met Templeton at Monoprix to grocery-shop and we headed back to my appartment to make fajitas. Everything started off smoothly, and then my host mom came in to say hello, and noticed our red beans on the stove looked dried out (from 5 minutes "cooking" unsuccessfully in the microwave) and now floating helplessly in almost-boiling water. She came over and laughed, and told us that beans need at least two hours to cook. Ooops. Luckily she had a can of pre-cooked beans which she insisted on giving us. We would have gotten 80% of the meal right on our own... We made delicious fajitas with peppers, lettuce, cheddar cheese (the only block we could find in the entire store), and beans. The peppers were delicious, although they were extremely expensive (2.50 euros each for a large pepper). Overall, the meal was a great success, and Templeton & I plan on cooking together again soon.
