i always feel a little guilty for not working out or reading my book or doing something other than lay on the couch with the tv on and playing on the internet... i'm addicted... it's a problem.
i always justify my actions by telling myself, it's the weekend, my days off, i should be able to lay around doing nothing. weird how we always feel like we should be doing something else.
on another note, i've been making my best attempts to eat healthier... and learn to cook.
last night i made this:

Submitted by: Kat | Prep Time: 45 Minutes | Ready In: 3 Hours 45 Minutes |
"I'm not sure if it's chili, or stew, or a shepherd's pie without the crust, but there is nothing like it over some toast on a cold night. Rich and hearty, just downright yummy."
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil 3 large onions, sliced 2 pounds ground beef 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 cup water 2 cups ketchup 1 cup beef stock | 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce 3 tablespoons black pepper 1 tablespoon curry powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1/2 cup water |
DIRECTIONS:
1. | Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saute onions until browned; remove from pot, and set aside. Add ground beef to pot, and cook until evenly brown. Add garlic, and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in browned onions, and cook on high heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of water. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. |

i get most of my recipes from allrecipes.com and they're usually awesome. each recipe has a few reviews from people that tried them, which turn out to be extremely helpful.
i used my crockpot for the above dish and oops, fell asleep and it sort of burned a bit, but is still delicious! the flavor is amazing!!! only downfall is when cooking it, the onions made the place smell like BO and i used ground turkey instead of beef (i don't eat beef anymore) and vegetable stock instead of the beef stock. well, apparently ground turkey smells really bad...mystery meat-ish... it was awful. but once everything came together (adding spices) it started to smell delicious... now the place is oozing with curry odor. not bad, just overwhelming. i think next time i'll open up some doors and windows when i cook... but don't let the weird odors detour you from trying this... like i said. it's AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!!!
