Yesterday I bought meat and onions for sliders for dinner. Guess what I forgot. Buns. I decided I'd just make hamburger steaks, I already had the meat and onions along with some mushrooms that needed to be used. Everything was going. The meat was staying warm in the oven while the onions/mushrooms were finishing off in one pan, rice was almost done in a pot and beans were keeping hot in another pot while I stood whisking away at gravy in the big pan. Right about that time I wondered why I decided to get all that stuff going and not just keep it simple.
Then I fixed my plate and sat down to eat. That's why. It was exactly what I wanted. And let me tell you this. Leftover rice is almost never good... unless you mix it with gravy. Guess what lunch was. Rice and gravy. (FYI, there's a smile on my face.)
